MADRID, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Eight men have been arrested in Barcelona, accused of having links to radical Islamic cells in Pakistan and collaborating with the group that carried out the attacks in Mumbai in 2008, media reported on Wednesday.
Seven Pakistani men were arrested on Tuesday and one north African man was arrested on Wednesday morning, media said.
The men belonged to a group that made fake identification documents which were sent to Pakistan to be used in attacks, the media reported.
They were also accused of sending money and fake documents to the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was blamed for the attacks in India in November 2008 in which 166 people were killed.
No one was immediately available at the Interior Ministry to confirm the reports. (Reporting by Teresa Larraz, writing Nigel Davies, editing by Tim Pearce)
