UK terror suspect held in Spain over ISIS funding

He later appeared before an investigating judge at the national criminal court in Madrid. The arrest follows a Sunday Times investigation last month into a network of companies in south Wales set up by Haque’s brother, Siful Sujan, who later travelled to Syria to become a senior figure in the ISIS weapons development programme and was killed, aged 31, by an American drone strike in 2015.

Sujan and Haque were directors of Ibacstel Electronics, which operated from a business park in Cardiff. In 2015, the company was used to send USD 7,700 in cash to an ISIS supporter in the US state of Maryland for “causing destruction or conducting a terrorist attack in the United States,” according to US court papers, based on FBI evidence. Haque, who once lived in Pontypridd, moved to Spain in August 2015 with his Spanish-born wife, Ana Gonzalez, 34, a Muslim convert.
