Operación Seula

Operación Seula is a joint counter-terrorism operation conducted by the Spanish National Police and the Moroccan Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance (DGST). It targets a jihadist cell allegedly affiliated with Daesh (ISIS). The cell was reportedly planning terrorist attacks in Spain, potentially using a 'lone wolf' operative. The operation is newsworthy due to the recent arrests of three suspected members: one in Palma, Spain, and two in Tangier, Morocco. These arrests signify a successful disruption of the cell's activities and a demonstration of effective collaboration between Spanish and Moroccan security forces in combating terrorism. The operation highlights the ongoing threat of jihadist terrorism in the region and the importance of international cooperation in addressing it.
