Three suspected terrorists have been arrested in a Spanish town, next to the border with Gibraltar.

Spain's interior minister has called it one of the country's biggest operations against Al Qaeda, and said that the men were "ready to act".

Spain's interior minister said the suspects had information about remote-controlled airplanes, and some of them "have experience producing explosives and car bombs and training in shooting."

The alleged cell members had been mastering the art of flying on motorized paragliders, leading Spanish investigators to believe the group was planning an attack from the air.
