El Pais newspaper has said the Spanish Secret Service has warned of a possible attack in Spain or France.

The Spanish Security Service, the CNI, has warned the Government of the increased risk of a new Islamic terrorist attack in Spain. A report in Sunday’s El Pais newspaper indicates that Al Qaeda has an active cell in Spain and that Spain and France are the two most likely targets in Europe following the recent attacks in the Magreb region.

In Algeria a series of explosions killed 33 and there were several suicide attacks in Casablanca, two of them outside United States diplomatic offices. The CNI believes that there are people receiving money and undergoing training in Spain, before being sent to either Africa or Iraq. French and Spanish authorities are reported to be working closely together, especially to see if they can follow the money to the terrorists.

A recent statement from Al Qaeda said that they wanted to recover lands which used to be Muslim, such as Al Andalus in Spain. The Spanish authorities have already increased security levels in Ceuta and Melilla and in provinces along the Mediterranean coast. The Government says it is taking precautions and there is no cause for alarm.
