GOT TEN:

Spanish police have arrested 10 people suspected of setting up a support network for an Islamic extremist group thought to be linked to al-Qaeda.

The suspects were detained in and around the Spanish cities of Alicante, Murcia and Granada.

Spain's interior minister alleged that the cell "gave logistical support and finance" to the Algerian-based Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat.

He said they were not linked, at this stage, to the 2004 Madrid bombings.

Nor were they thought to be planning any sort of repeat of those attacks.

UPDATE. For what it's worth, Debka thinks that this is bigger than it seems.
