'Pakistani Taliban ordered attacks in Barcelona'
2009-11-13
[Dawn] Eleven suspected militants of South Asian origin are on trial in Spain over an alleged plot to stage suicide attacks on Barcelona's subway system.

Prosecutors say the cell of men from Pakistan and India acted on orders from the Pakistani Taliban. The motive was alleged to be the presence of Spanish troops in Afghanistan.

The trial began Thursday at the National Court, Spain's hub for terrorism cases. It is expected to last several weeks.

Police foiled the alleged plan in January 2008 with a series of raids in Spain's second largest city.

The police moved in after a member of the cell who was designated to blow himself up got cold feet and alerted authorities, according to a Spanish prosecutor.
