Algerian held for links with Daesh

Spain’s interior ministry says an Algerian man has been arrested in the northern city of Bilbao for allegedly praising extremism, bringing to 187 the number of people accused of links with militancy in Spain since 2015. The ministry said the 44-year-old is suspected of training himself in the ideology of the Daesh group, which he promoted through social media, and added that other charges may arise once the investigation of his online contacts concludes. —
