Yet another operation against Islamic terrorism has taken place in Barcelona.

At least 15 people, allegedly linked to a network of document falsification were arrested in Calle Peu de la Creu, in the Raval area of the city, overnight as part of an operation which is reported to have extended to other cities in the country, including Valencia.

The arrests were made by the National Police in the early hours of Tuesday, and the operation remains open.

It was ordered by National Court judge Grande-Marlaska. Those arrested are all thought to be Pakistani and they are accused of supplying false passports to Al Quaeda members.
