National Core planned to attack mosques and synagogues: "We must start with the incinerations"

The dismantled neo-Nazi group Núcleo Nacional planned violent attacks against mosques, synagogues, and vulnerable communities, as revealed by police-intercepted chats. Members expressed a strong anti-Muslim sentiment and discussed organizing actions against these targets, including locking people inside mosques during prayers. They also engaged in street hunts targeting minorities, using pellet guns and uniforms. The group, which recruited minors, aimed to disrupt leftist demonstrations and was involved in various violent activities. Following a police investigation, 14 members were arrested across several Spanish cities, with some released under precautionary measures. The investigation continues for incitement to hatred and illegal possession of weapons.
