Eleven people arrested in Spain’s Catalonia province were suspected members of a jihadist cell linked to ISIS, officials said.

The group recruited youths to fight in Iraq and Syria and also planned attacks in Catalonia, Ramon Espadaler, the province’s home affairs minister, told reporters.

Police arrested the suspects, who were from Spain, Paraguay and Morocco, on Wednesday. They are “suspected of crimes linked to jihadist terrorism,” Catalonia’s regional government said.

Video posted on the regional police Facebook page shows SWAT teams closing in on the suspects during the operation, which officials described as one of their most significant anti-terror busts in recent years.
