Terror charge for Spain Algerians
BBC News Online ^ | April 21 2004

A Spanish judge has charged four Algerian men with membership of a terrorist organisation. The judge said chemicals found in their homes could have been used to make explosives.

Police also found a mobile phone that had been modified in a similar way to phones used as detonators in the Madrid train bombings in March.

The indictment alleges the men were working to support an Islamic militant cell based in France.

The men were originally arrested along with 12 others in January 2003 on suspicion of being part of an Algerian extremist group with links to al-Qaeda.

They were later released, before being re-arrested last month.

I wonder if they are being considered for Cabinet positions for the new gov't? If you are going to appease terrorists, isn't it only fair that you give them power in your gov't too?

Did they blow anything up or rob anyone so they had money for their little club? what society would hold people justbecause they are trying to kill innocent citizens?
