Spain Nabs 8 in Sept. 11 Attacks By CIARAN GILES, Associated Press Writer Updated: Sun, Nov 18 8:50 PM EST MADRID, Spain (AP) - A Spanish magistrate accused eight men of involvement in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States on Sunday, ordering them jailed and charging them with belonging to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network. The suspects "were directly linked to the preparation and carrying out of the attacks perpetrated by 'suicide pilots' on Sept. 11, 2001," Judge Baltasar Garzon said in his jailing order. Garzon, an investigative judge, formally charged the men with membership in a terrorist organization - al-Qaida - and with document falsification, robbery and weapons possession. He accused them of "as many terrorism crimes as there were victims on Sept. 11." The men denied the charges, which Garzon said were based on evidence from telephone conversations of the group's alleged leader - Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, whose alias is Abu Dahdah - before and after the attacks. Entries in a diary found in Germany also linked him to Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers, Garzon said. The judge did not provide any details of the evidence. The eight were among 11 detained Tuesday. The others were released without charges. Seven of the eight suspects originally came from Muslim countries. Most were Spanish citizens, but police said they were investigating the authenticity of their citizenship papers. Garzon said the men "formed part of an extremist Islamic group of a terrorist nature integrated in the support and development structure of the al-Qaida organization's criminal activities." He said the group was involved in recruiting people for terrorist training and providing cover for Islamic militants in Spain and elsewhere in Europe. They also rounded up money for the organization, mainly through stolen credit cards and robberies, he said. The suspects will remain in jail while Garzon prepares a case against them, a process court officials said could take several years. Garzon said the one native Spaniard jailed, Luis Jose Galan Gonzalez, whose alias is Yusuf Galan, was trained at a camp run by bin Laden in Indonesia in July. At his Madrid home, police seized weapons, ammunition and forged identity documents. Galan was also said to have monitored an election for Spain's radical pro-Basque independence party Herri Batasuna in 1989. The party has been linked to the armed separatist group ETA. Another of the jailed men, Osama Darra, opened an electronics store in Spain that he used to collect money for al-Qaida, Garzon said. In the house of another, Bassan Dalati Satut, alias Abu Abdo, police found a diary allegedly containing a bank account number of Mustapha Setmarian Nasar, who authorities said ran a bin Laden training camps in Afghanistan. Elsewhere Sunday, an uncle of Ziad Jarrah, a Lebanese man named as one of the hijackers, said he did not believe German prosecutors found a letter from Jarrah telling his girlfriend he would not return from the United States. Jamal Jarrah charged that the letter was "fabricated." In Egypt, a domestic terror case involving 94 suspected Islamic militants went to trial, and defendants accused the authorities of using it to show the United States they are serious about combatting terrorism. The other four accused are Said Chedadi, Mohamed Seedl, Jasem Mahboule, Mohamed Zaher Asade. news.excite.com * * *
