Police arrested five people suspected of forming a Daesh [ISIS/ISIL] cell and promoting Takfiri militancy in Spain, Belgium and Germany, the Spanish Interior Ministry said Wednesday.

Three of them were detained in Spain, two of them in Barcelona and one in Spain’s North African enclave of Melilla, one in Brussels and another in Wuppertal, Germany, it said.

The group used social media, specifically a Facebook page "Islam en Español" [Islam in Spanish], to glorify Daesh and spread the message of the militant group that operates out of Syria and Iraq, the ministry said.

Spain has arrested 34 people with suspected connections to Takfiri militancy this year.
