Spain: Islamist terrorism in Andalucia "stable and structural"
The phenomenon of the Islamist terrorism in Andalucia is not "isolated" any more: it has become "stable and structural". After March 11th bombings, Jihadi nets have settled in all the provinces and have solid foundations in all of them to fund their operations, specially using drug trafficking. Since then, two terrorist attacks have been aborted in Andalucia.
An example: Civil Guard detains 5 alleged drug traffickers who were selling hashish and to have more benefits, were also selling stolen cars. It would be just one more anti-drug operation, if it weren't because, among those five "narcos", was Mohammed El-Khaloum, vice-president of the Islamic movement of Algeciras (Cádiz). With the money obtained from drug trafficking, he was funding a terrorist cell which wanted to attack in the north of Morocco, according to investigation sources.
(..)
These terrorists are not only immigrants who have recently arrived, unemployed, with a marginal situation or suffering racism. Among the arrested, there were Maghrebies who had been radicalised after achieving a stable position in society or were already owners of their own businesses. Javier Jordán explains that Jihadist phenomenon in Spain has a "firm trend who will be mantained in the next decade and which will affect some sectors of te scond generation of immigrants", those who are now children or teenagers".
