The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested two people in an operation against Islamist groups that was launched on 14 July. The operation, sponsored by the Court of Instruction No. 6 of the National Court, takes place in the district of Ciutat Vella, in Barcelona.

For the time being, the Generalitat Police has reported that records against alleged jihadists have begun at 06:00 hours and have stopped "the main objectives of the operation". The Mossos d'Esquadra will provide more information today morning.

Sources close to the investigation have informed the newspaper La Vanguardia that at least two homes have been registered in which about a hundred agents have participated.
