Spanish police on Monday said they had broken up a cell of "The Base", a transnational neo-Nazi white supremacist group designated a terrorist organization by the European Union, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The U.S.-founded movement operates through a decentralized, international network of paramilitary cells that aims at perpetrating attacks and preparing for a "race war," the police said in a statement .

An investigation launched earlier this year uncovered a Spanish cell whose members were "highly radicalized" and had trained using "paramilitary techniques and equipment," the police added.

In recent months, the suspects had encouraged "violent acts, even stating openly that they were prepared to carry out targeted attacks for the cause," authorities said.
