ISISThe Spanish Interior Ministry says 14 people have been arrested in Spain and Morocco on suspicion of recruiting fighters for ISIS.

According to reporters, the suspects were arrested in Madrid and several locations in Morocco during a joint operation involving both countries.

The men were accused of being part of a networking that recruits and sends fighters to join the ranks of terror group, ISIS.

The operation came days after a 26-year-old Moroccan man was accused of attacking passengers on a train in France, armed with a Kalashnikov, an assault rifle and a box cutter knife.

Spain and other countries in Europe and North Africa have said they are alarmed about the risk of locals joining militants abroad and returning to launch attacks at home.
