Spain reports arrest of al Qaeda recruiter suspect

Spanish police on Tuesday arrested a suspected member of al Qaeda who was key to the terror group's Internet propaganda and recruiting operations, officials said.

The suspect arrested in the eastern city of Valencia "administered one of the world's most important jihadist forums", dedicated to recruiting and indoctrinating Islamic terrorists, Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said.

The name of that forum and the suspect's name were not given, only his initials, M.H.A. He is Jordanian-born with Saudi citizenship.

"He was known within the organization as al Qaeda's librarian," Fernandez Diaz said, without specifying what that term meant in this case.
