London: A Bangladeshi-origin businessman from Wales has been arrested in Spain over his alleged involvement in a worldwide Islamic State weapons programme unearthed by the UK media.
Ataul Haque is believed to be linked to a network of front companies, run from an office in Cardiff, which are accused of financing attacks in the US and shipping military- grade equipment for ISIS around the world, the Sunday Times reported. Spanish police allege that the 34-year-old was involved in "one of the most secretive and sophisticated" branches of the terrorist organisation and that it aimed to create weaponised drones. Balaclava-clad police with assault rifles raided Haque's home in Merida, southwest Spain, on Friday morning.
