Overview

• Spanish National Police arrested two Spanish sisters aged 19 and 21 in Alcorcón on May 27 for allegedly operating a virtual 'jihad academy' aimed at radicalizing women.
• Officials say the platform disseminated DAESH-linked radical and violent content masked as religious instruction to indoctrinate female followers.
• Police seized extensive electronic devices and documentation during the raid, and anti-terror specialists are now examining the digital evidence.
• One of the suspects reportedly lauded a February Barcelona metro attack that injured six women, according to the National Police report.
• The counter-terrorism probe began in 2024 after experts flagged their social media profiles for distributing extremist and violent material.
