Barcelona: Police in Spain have reportedly arrested 15 people, including at least four Indians and one Pakistani for alleged links with the al-Qaeda.

Reports say the men are suspected of forging passports and other documents for an Islamic terror organisation.

The Indian embassy in Madrid has neither confirmed nor denied the news.

According to police four Indians and one Pakistani were arrested in the eastern town of Mislata as part of same operation in which 10 people were arrested from Barcelona.

Dozens of suspected radical Islamic militants have been arrested in Spain since the September 11, 2001, terror attacks in US and the commuter train bombings in 2004 in Madrid.

All those arrested are reportedly from North African countries.

This is not the first time an Indian has been arrested in Spain for terror connections.

One Roshan Jamaal from Mumbai is already under trial in a separate terror related case.
