Suspected members of neo-Nazi terror group arrested in Spain

"Police in Spain have arrested three people on suspicion of belonging to the Base, a global neo-Nazi terrorist group that incites and trains members in techniques to overthrow governments and bring about a race war. The group, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is part of a worldwide accelerationist white power movement that prepares its cells to carry out violent and destabilising attacks."

"In a statement on Monday, Spain's Policia Nacional said the three arrests, made in the eastern province of Castellon, had enabled the them to dismantle the first accelerationist terrorist cell detected in the country. Officers also seized two firearms, a number of replica guns, ammunition, knives and tactical military training gear, as well as accelerationist material and neo-Nazi paraphernalia."

"The investigation into the cell started at the beginning of this year, when anti-terror and anti-radicalisation officers came across an individual whom they described as very radicalised and aligned with the supremacist, terrorist beliefs of the Base. They then learned of the other two members of the cell and discovered that the trio had undergone tactical training using paramilitary techniques and materials."
