Suspect in Madrid Bombing Lived in Germany

And just how do the SECRET protocols have ANY bearing on the PROVEN guilt of the suspect?? AND the court overtuned the conviction BASED on that letter and that letter alone.

The other was aquitted on the same basis.

So, you also think it is okay that the EU harbours KNOWN terrorists??

That is the question in any criminal hearing...
Now you again suggest that the EU is harbouring known terrorists....

I have never stated anything like that...
I am against detention without a fair trial...in a fair trial anyone has the right to defend themselves...

One of them was proven guilty and accordingly detained.
The second was not proven to be guilty, there was no evidence of his participation in the attacks. So as long as PROVEN otherwise he is a suspect not a convicted PROVEN terrorist. EVERYONE IS THE SAME BEFORE THE LAW - A PRINCIPAL THAT HAS TO BE VALID FOR TERROR SUSPECTS AS WELL!!!!

IF someone is a known terrorist, and some other country issued a warrant he has to be delivered...if we can trie him, we will do so, if he is allready convicted there is no reason not to deliver him (is extradite the right term here?)

You still did not explain me the connection between the Bank robberies and the terrorists!

The EU is harbouring known terrorists - namely the "Church of the Nativity" Terrorists - one of whom has robbed and bombed banks in the Netherlands. (I do assume though that he is in jail for these crimes. Kidnapping Christians and Jews in Bethlehem was apparently not sufficient grounds for his incarceration.) [BTW - auf Deutsch Geburtskircheterroristen)

Europe choses to handle terrorism as a criminal act. The terrorists have declared war on the west, and Europe choses to fight them with cops and the courts - great for catching the perpetrators, but rotten against preventing future acts. The cops / the courts DO NOT prevent terrorism, just as they do not prevent crimes from being committed.

To the two terrorists tried in Hamburg - one was tried, convicted, and then the conviction overturned - the other aquitted, althougn the judges said he was probably guilty. Both were "freed" based on a note which - contrary to what is gernerally said - stated nothing more than "no one knew the targets except for myself (Binalshib) and the Pilots." It has not even been proven that the note in question is from Binalshib - thus "evidence" has been created out of thin air.

The EU will NEVER deliver a known terrorist to the US for trial because the death penalty could be imposed.

The effectiveness of the German Courts in trying terrorists accused of plotting attacks outside of Germany is now quite renowned.
