"Fourteen people were arrested until today in an operation today in Barcelona and Igualada," a city located about 60 kilometers west of the Catalan capital, reported the police on their Twitter account.
"The intent of the cell was to commit an assault, but we're still trying to find out which target targets could be targeted," said a spokesman for the Catalan police Mossos d'Esquadra.
According to the same spokesman, 13 people were arrested in Barcelona and one in Igualada, he said, without providing details on their nationality, age and profile.
The regional police Mossos d'Esquadra announced on Twitter the launch of an anti-terrorist operation around 6:00 local time. In this context, he conducted six researches in Barcelona and Igualada, most of them in the center of the Catalan capital.
More than 100 police officers were mobilized in the context of this operation launched by the National Unit, a court in Madrid responsible for the national security files for "terrorist offenses" and "criminal organization".
Representatives of the armed forces and armed forces on the head oversaw two buildings that were searched in Barcelona, from which police officers came out with bags of confiscated material.
Barcelona was vigilant during the winter holidays, following a warning from the US authorities on the risk of a terrorist attack.
The city was the target of an attack on August 17, 2017, when a 22-year-old Moroccan at the wheel of a van came at full speed on pedestrians walking on the famous Ramblas, killing 14 people. Then he ran aboard a stolen car after killing the driver. A few hours later, five of his accomplices imitated his attack by entering pedestrians on a cliff in the spa of Cambrils, where a woman died. This double attack was later claimed by the jihadist group of the Islamic state, reports Agerpres.
