Spanish Reports: Suspected Jihadists Identified Among Ceuta Arrivals

Spanish security services reportedly identified at least 10 people with prior jihadism cases among 72,000 migrants who entered Ceuta last week, officials said.

  • Spanish counterterrorism officers have reportedly identified at least ten people previously expelled for jihadism among the 72,000 migrants who breached Ceuta last week.
  • Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska revised the total entries to 72,000, noting approximately 70,000 returned to Morocco, while the government previously dismissed infiltration reports as a 'malicious hoax.'
  • Officers from the General Information Commissariat and Intelligence Headquarters analyzed surveillance footage to identify these individuals, with reports indicating around 50 migrants escaped Ceuta to the Campo near Gibraltar via speedboat.
  • Italy restored border checks for one month on non-EU nationals arriving from Spain to 'safeguard national security,' while Denmark pressed for emergency EU talks on stronger borders and external asylum-processing centers.
  • Terrorism experts said the jihadist threat in Spain has evolved into a 'fourth phase,' characterized by decentralized radicalization through social media, complicating counter-terrorism cooperation with Morocco during large-scale migration flows.
