Barcelona, Spain -- Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network has been restructured and has a "board of managers" in Iran, Spanish terror judge Baltasar Garzon told El Periodico daily Sunday.
"This council has, on some issues, maintained positions critical of Osama bin Laden," said Garzon, who last September issued an international warrant for Bin Laden's arrest in the framework of an inquiry into a Spanish Al-Qaeda cell.
"Currently there is coordination, a series of objectives clearly established (by Al-Qaeda), but there is no need for an order for an act to be executed ... It's diffused terrorism," said Garzon, who spends a third of his time as a judge on "terrorism linked to Islamic fundamentalism."
Garzon hit the headlines in Spain this week as the presiding judge in the case against a Spanish Al-Qaeda suspect extradited from the US prison at the Guantanamo naval base in Cuba.
Hamed Abderrahman Ahmed stands accused of being a member of a Spanish Al-Qaeda cell dismantled in November 2001.

Clinton & Clinton blew a dozen opportunities to kill or capture bin Laden.
John Fedayeen Kerry defended Clinton's draft-dodging and philandering, and now apologizes to Iran for U.S. actions the past three years.
Kerry has received the coveted bin Laden endorsement to add to his endorsements by Khameini and General Vo Nguyen Giap.
