The Spanish authorities have arrested a French national in the southern city of Almeria on suspicion that he has been recruiting and fighting for Al-Qaeda affiliated rebels in Syria.
Abdelmalek Tanem, 24, was seized on Wednesday afternoon, after he was accused of operating for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) along the Turkish-Syrian border.
The ISIL is a breakaway group from Al Qaeda which has been threatening other rebel groups fighting in the region as well as neighboring country Turkey.
Tanem was also accused of working for the Al Qaeda linked Nusra Front, even though the ISIL and Nusra have clashed with each other on many occasions.
