Spanish police have arrested seven suspected Islamic militants in raids across Spain to foil a planned bomb attack on the country's High Court.
The seven suspects, including four Algerians and one Moroccan, were arrested on Monday in the southern region of Andalusia, the Mediterranean city of Valencia and Madrid.
Further arrests could be made in the coming hours as part of the operation against a radical and violent Muslim network, the Interior Ministry said.
The suspects had been in contact with other individuals in Europe, the United States and Australia, the ministry said.
Judge Baltasar Garzon ordered the arrests as part of his inquiry into Islamic militant cells in Spain. They came seven months after train bombs killed 191 people in Madrid.
