Spanish police seize 20,000 military uniforms meant for ISIS fighters

Spanish police have managed to seize 20,000 military uniforms that were bound for Islamic State and al Nusra Front fighters. The items had been declared as second-hand clothes and a part of humanitarian aid to fool the customs officials and the sheer quantity was "enough to equip an entire army".
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 4 March 2016.

The consignments of these military uniforms were discovered in three shipping containers in the eastern ports of Valencia and Alicante last month. It was an operation undertaken by officers to prevent smuggling of arms to jihadists. In a statement, the police have indicated that with the roughly 20,000 military uniforms and accessories, it would have been possible to equip an entire army. This army would be ready to enter into the combat role in any of the battlegrounds which jihadist terrorist organizations have round the world.
Seven people have been arrested in this connection - one of them was a man who dispatched "military material, money, electronic and transmission material, firearms and precursors for making explosives" to Syria and Iraq via a company. These would be shipped out to the terrorist groups under the guise of humanitarian aid.
