32 suspects accused of plot to bomb Spanish National court
2006-03-22
A judge has indicted 32 suspected Islamic extremists in a failed plot to attack the National Court in Madrid, which tries terrorism cases. The suspects allegedly planned to pack a lorry with explosives and drive it into the building. The indictments were issued last week, but were only made public on Tuesday to coincide with a hearing for eight of the 32 suspects at the court. The rest will be formally notified of the indictments later this week.

The plot aimed to pack a truck with 500 kilogrammes of explosives and drive it into the National Court building, where nearly a thousand people work daily, including judges, prosecutors, lawyers and police officers, according to the 23-page indictment. The 32 suspects are charged with "belonging to a terrorist group" and "conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack with resulting deaths" and also with document forgery, the indictment said.

#2  In my weaker moments, I sometimes find myself in an extra-rotten place - rooting for the bad guys in some situations. Something of a convergence of two rotten vectors. This is one of those moments and Spain is one of those situations. Houston, we have Intersection.

#1  Good thing Spain pulled its troops out of Iraq. That way they wouldn't have these problems. Very farsighted of them.
