Spain tries 11, including nine Pakistanis, over alleged terror plot
MADRID: Eleven suspected terrorists of South Asian origin, on Thursday, were put on trial over an alleged plot to stage suicide attacks on the Barcelona subway system. The police foiled the alleged terrorist plot in January 2008. It has been reported that nine of the men are of Pakistani origin, the other two being Indian. All the suspects have pleaded innocence. The charge sheet mentions that 18 grammes of white powder was seized during police investigations, which, according to Investigating Magistrate Ismael Moreno were, “enough for training purposes but not to stage a major attack”. This is one of the reasons that the suspects have been charged not for plotting a terrorist attack but for belonging to a terrorist organisation, the Tehreek-e-Taliban. ap
