MADRID, SPAIN (Worthy News)– Eight people were arrested as part of a terrorist cell group, led by a former Guantanamo Bay inmate, in pre-dawn raids in Madrid, Spain, the Agence France-Presse reported.

Police found the terrorist cell recruited and dispatched jihadists for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), the Spain’s interior ministry said in a statement.

This was the third significant raid on terrorist recruitment cells over the past three months. Spain fears terrorist attacks may be carried out by battle-hardened jihadists returning from Syria and Iraq under the influence of al-Qaeda inspired groups.

On March 11, Spain marked the 10 year anniversary which 191 people were killed as four packed commuter trains were bombed by terrorists.
