Spanish police arrested on Tuesday two people in Barcelona on charges of spreading online propaganda authored by the Islamic State terrorist organisation.
The two men had also developed their own material for the jihadist organization, according to the interior ministry, Spanish nmews agency Efe reported.
The arrests took place in the town of Cornella in the Catalonia region, where the police performed home searches, sources close to the investigations told Efe.
