Madrid’s National Court found Ahmed Ibrahim guilty of “belonging to a terrorist organisation,” in this case Al Qaeda. He was arrested in Spain in April 2002 while “creating a website to publish radical and extremist Islamic principles”, notably fatwas from Al Qaeda calling for jihad, or holy war, the judgement said.
The court said Ibrahim had several times met senior members of Al Qaeda in Palma de Majorca in SpainÂ’s Balearic islands where he lived, and that he had proven contact with Islamist extremists.
