Seven suspected members of an Islamic terror cell were arrested for plotting to bomb a Jewish bookstore in Barcelona.

The cell also was planning attacks on local synagogues, according to reports.

Eleven people were arrested in total in northeastern Catalonia on April 8, and seven are under formal investigation, Reuters reported. They called themselves Islamic Brotherhood for Jihad Predication.

The terror cell is similar to the Islamic State movement. — jta
