Spain Arrests American Al-Qaeda Suspect

Spanish police have arrested an American man of Algerian descent suspected of funding Al-Qaeda's North African affiliates. The man was arrested outside of Barcelona Tuesday, and s suspected of laundering amounts of over $80,000 to an associate in Algeria, who then sent the money to Al-Qaeda cells in the area. It is reported the arrest is unrelated to the terror threats in France and the UK this weekend, and the incident is pure coincidence. More on the article here.
