Spanish Police Arrest ’One of EU’s Most-wanted’ Daesh Members

By Staff, Agencies

Spanish police arrested a man they described as one of EU's most-wanted Daesh [the Arabic acronym for terrorist ‘ISIS/ISIL’ group] members who once posed for a picture with a severed human head.

Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, an ex-rapper from West London, was arrested in the city of Almeria in the country's south, AFP reported, citing judicial sources.

The arrest was announced earlier on Tuesday, but the police did not identify the suspect, instead describing him as an Egyptian national. It provided no details on when exactly Abdel Bary was apprehended.

Police added that the suspect "had recently entered Spain illegally and was found hiding in a rented flat" in Almeria where several other people were also arrested.

"He is one of the most wanted terrorists in Europe on grounds of his criminal record within the ranks of Daesh and because he is extremely dangerous," a police statement said.
