The Interior Ministry said Ghasoub al-Abrash Ghalyoun, also known as Abu Musab, and Abdalrahman Alarnaot Abu-Aljer, alias Abu Obeid, were arrested in Madrid, and Mohamed Khair al-Saqq, alias Abu Alarda, was arrested in Castellon. All three were Syrian-born although two had Spanish nationality, police said.
