Spanish authorities seized 20,000 military-style uniforms being sent to fighters of the Islamic State and the Nusra Front, the Interior Ministry announced Thursday.

Police conducted a counterterrorism operation last month in the port cities of Valencia and Algeciras, where officers opened three shipping containers and found the uniforms along with other military accessories, the ministry said. The uniforms were mixed with “secondhand clothing” to avoid raising suspicion while passing through customs.

The ministry said in a statement that police arrested seven people on suspicion of providing logistical and financial support to ISIS and the Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria. The New York Times reported that five of the seven people were Spanish citizens.

Spanish authorities released a video showing a large pile of the camouflage clothing, according to The New York Times. An Interior Ministry spokesman told the paper the uniforms were not made in Spain and an investigation was underway to see where they came from.

The cost of the uniform is deducted from the first paycheck. Healthcare kicks in after the first suicide bombing.

lol.

they wear uniforms?

might not it have been better to send them though and then kill them once they put it on?

[Mr Apple]

...and an investigation was underway to see where they came from.

Beyond me? I'll bet we never know.

I bet they didn’t expect a kind of Spanish inquisition.

Most interesting, but a shame they didn't name the destination port. The ISIS magazine Dabiq has published accounts from Nusrat deserters saying they were fed up with corruption in that Al-Qaeda affiliate. Maybe Russki airstrikes and SAA ground attacks have drawn the two arms of Sunni terror together?

[BlackVeil]

Indeed. One hopes for a full investigation, but ...

[riverrunner]

That’s what’s I was thinking if they are easy to ID they are easy to kill.

Execute them — unless you want more of this activity.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

They were probably just burkhas, but if they were uniforms, does this mean all the ISIS guys in Spain already have uniforms?

[gnickgnack2]

Or better yet, taint the insides and ship them so that they poison those who put them on.

that’s some sick, very cool thinking!

we play to dam fair!
