MADRID, March 8: A Pakistani is among the five men arrested in Spain on suspicion of involvement in the suicide attack on a synagogue on the Tunisian resort island of Djerba in which 21 people died, investigators said on Saturday. The other four being held were described as Spanish nationals.

Reports immediately after their arrest in Valencia, in southwest of the country, on Friday had described them as of Tunisian origin.

All five were due to be transferred to Madrid to appear before the audiencia national, Spain’s top court for dealing with terrorist offences.

Police carried out several raids on Friday, including one on an apartment in the beach resort of Cullera and another on a food shop selling products conforming to Islamic dietary law.—AFP
