Thirty people fanatical Islamo-terrorist scumbags went on trial Monday for plotting to blow up a court that is the hub of Spain’s anti-terror investigations.
The 30 men, mostly Algerians, have been charged with membership of a terrorist organization, conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack and forgery.
The alleged mastermind Abderrahmane Tahiri, alias Mohamed Achraf, was extradited from Switzerland in April 2005.
Spanish authorities suspect Tahiri planned to ram a truck loaded with 1,100 pounds of explosives into the National Court in downtown Madrid.
“This was an organized and structured terrorist group, uncovered in November 2003, with radical Salafist tendencies, which defended the jihad (holy war) and intended carrying it out in Spain through violent actions such as that planned against the National Court and the persons within,” according to the indictment.
“With that explosion, they hoped to kill the persons within (judges, clerks and public in general) and destroy the files held against the ‘mujahedeen brotherhood’ inside,” the indictment said.
Investigating magistrate Fernando Grande-Marlaska said such an attack could have killed up to 1,000 people.
The prosecution is demanding sentences of between two and 46 years for the accused.
The trial is expected to last several months.
Police uncovered the alleged plot with the help of an unnamed informant who had lived with some of the accused.
In an initial investigation, Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon claimed Tahiri set up a cell known as the “Martyrs for Morocco” while he served time in a Spanish prison for credit card fraud between 1999 and 2002.

DAMN now, them is some buck ugly fellers! WOW! With the size of them big noses a fight could break out in the court, just fighting for the last breath of air!
Magistrate says they could have killed up to 1,000 people. What’s the point of locking up these idiots for 46 years? People who plan or carry out major terror attacks should get the ultimate sentence!
One might think that Spain, out of all the European countries,would not allow a single muslim to defile their country. Still, if you vote for left of center parties, you get marxism.
Do they teach about the islamic occupation in Spanish schools? Somehow, I doubt it.
the spanish have been in denial since the Madrid bombing…. they went straight out and elected Chamberlains clone.

We keep being told, by (eg Monash University) that “harsh” anti-terror measures result in terrorism, but here is evidence that Islamic terrorism results from credit cards, or from credit card fraud, or maybe from Isl..
The Monash study essentially said if we get tough on extremists they will just get worse.
No one even ventured to mention the alternative. If we go soft on them and build bridges,,,,,it won’t make any difference. “hearts and minds” – don’t think this works with people like that.
Extremists will always be extremists,IMHO. Some governments are just going to help them more than others.
Don’t bomb the Germans. You’ll only make the situation worse.
