A Moroccan man was arrested in Barcelona for praising the beheading of a French schoolteacher outside Paris this month and “inciting” more attacks, police said on Saturday.
The man, who was not named and who was detained on Friday, posted messages on social media in support of the Oct. 16 murder of Samuel Paty, Catalan regional police said.
Paty was killed outside his school in a Paris suburb by an 18-year-old Chechen who was apparently incensed by the teacher showing a blasphemous caricature of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in class. Police shot the attacker dead.
“Police officers from the Mossos d’Esquadra have arrested a man of Moroccan nationality, for an alleged crime of exaltation of terrorism and a crime of incitement to commit terrorist crimes,” Catalan police tweeted.
The suspect appeared before a court in Barcelona on Saturday and was released on condition he surrender his passport and appear before magistrates every 14 days, police said….
