(CNN) – Spanish police arrested Abdel Majed Abdel Bary, a suspected fighter from ISIS and one of the most wanted extremists in Europe, a source from the Spanish National Police told CNN. This source was not authorized to confirm the suspect’s name in the registry.
On Tuesday, the police issued a statement saying that “one of the most wanted ISIS terrorist fighters”, a man with Egyptian nationality, was arrested on Tuesday in the city of Almería, in the southeast of Spain. “He recently entered Spain irregularly and was found hiding in a rented apartment,” according to the police statement.
CNN has not been able to determine if Abdel Bary has an attorney or if he has been charged at this time.
Two other people in the home were also arrested, according to the police statement. Authorities believe they accompanied Abdel Bary during his trip to Spain.
