Up to 20,000 military uniforms hidden inside aid packages have been uncovered after Spanish authorities busted a large scale smuggling ring to jihadi groups in Syria and Iraq. The camouflage fatigues were discovered inside boxes marked as second-hand clothes following a routine inspection by custom officials in Valencia and Algeciras.
Spanish police confirmed they have confiscated all the supplies but refused to reveal whether the uniforms had been originally shipped from Europe. At the ports at Valencia and Algeciras, inspectors found other military gear which they believe the senders were planning to deliver to al-Qaeda linked Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
Photographs have emerged of large bundles of military-grade uniforms lying on the floor after they were found at the bottom of the aid packages, according to the International Business Times. See more photos below...
