Morocco and Spain continue their successful counterterrorism cooperation, leading to the neutralization of a new terrorist cell. In a joint operation named 'Operation Seula', three key figures were arrested. Two extremists were apprehended in Tangier (Morocco) by the DGST special services, while the alleged network leader was captured in a residence in the center of Palma de Mallorca (Spain). The suspects detained in Morocco were allegedly dedicated to fundraising and logistical support for Daesh fighters in Somalia and the Sahel region. The leader arrested in Spain is believed to have initiated the planning of a terrorist attack under the 'lone wolf' modality. This operation, carried out on the morning of Wednesday, March 25, 2026, once again confirmed the strength of the security architecture that unites the two shores of the Strait of Gibraltar. The collaboration between Morocco's DGST and Spain's National Police managed to dismantle a terrorist cell affiliated with Daesh. The investigation, supervised by the anti-terrorism prosecutor's office, revealed a structure as deep as it was dangerous. This operation crowns a long process of strategic partnership between Rabat and Madrid.
