Alcorcón Sisters Arrested: Virtual Jihad Academy Uncovered
Alcorcón Jihad Academy: Two Sisters Arrested Spanish National Police in Alcorcón have arrested two sisters, aged 19 and 21, for allegedly establishing and operating a virtual academy promoting the ideology of the Islamic State (ISIS). The academy, operating primarily online, purported to offer religious instruction but instead allegedly indoctrinated young Muslim women into extremist views. "The investigation revealed a sophisticated online network used to recruit and groom vulnerable individuals," stated a police spokesperson, who requested anonymity. The spokesperson added, "The sisters used deceptive tactics, posing as religious teachers to gain the trust of their victims." One sister remains in custody, while the other has been released under strict bail conditions. The investigation continues, with authorities exploring the full extent of the academy's reach and potential connections to larger terrorist networks. This case underscores the ongoing challenge of online radicalization and highlights the importance of vigilance and proactive measures to counter such threats.
