Spain jails six accused of aiding Qaeda
MADRID: A Spanish judge has jailed six people on suspicion of recruiting Islamic radicals to send as suicide bombers or insurgents to Iraq, Chechnya or Kashmir, a court official said on Saturday.
The six were among 16 people arrested on Monday in raids around Spain. Another two people surrendered after learning police were looking for them.
After Monday’s arrests, the Interior Ministry said the suspects recruited and indoctrinated people who were then sent to wage “holy war” in Iraq as members of Al Qaeda. It said the group – whose members were born in Iraq, Belarus, Ghana, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, France, Algeria and Saudi Arabia – had two fighters ready to send to Iraq when they were arrested. After questioning the suspects, High Court Judge Fernando Andreu issued an order late on Friday night accusing three of the men of belonging to a terrorist organisation and another three of cooperation with an armed group. reuters
