"Jihadist "had a map of Pittsburgh""

From "Terror on trial", from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MADRID, Spain -- Two dozen men sit behind bulletproof glass in a new courtroom built to hold the biggest al-Qaida trial Europe has yet seen.
In proceedings that began in April, the Spanish National Court is considering whether the accused men belonged to a terrorist cell that helped kill nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001....

Accused cell member Yusuf Galan is not one of the major players. Galan, a Spaniard who converted to Islam, faces only 18 years for being part of the cell, visiting an Islamic militant training camp in Indonesia in 2001, and having illegal guns and knives in his home when he was arrested after the Sept. 11 attacks.

He also had militant literature, a map of London with a church and synagogue circled, and a map of Hannover, Germany.

And he had a map of Pittsburgh."
