ISIS-linked suspect arrested in Colombia showed hate online
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Spanish police say the man suspected of plotting an ISIS-inspired attack in Colombia appeared on their radar for his hate-filled messages toward the United States, a country where he had lived and was allegedly trying to get to.
A Colombian judge jailed Raul Gutierrez last week on terrorism and conspiracy charges.
On instant messaging app Telegram, the 45-year-old Cuban man said that he would commit a suicide attack in the name of God and the Islamic state, two of the Spanish investigators following the case told The Associated Press.

Gutierrez was arrested on March 12.
