Spanish judge indicts 32 people over alleged attempt to blow up National Court
MADRID, Spain
A Spanish judge has indicted 32 people over an alleged attempt to blow up the National Court, the center of anti-terror investigations, authorities said Tuesday.
The 32 men, mostly Algerians, were charged with membership of a terrorist organization, conspiracy to commit a terrorist act and forgery of public documents, Judge Fernando Grande-Marlaska said in an indictment dated March 13 and made public on Tuesday.
The 32 include Mohamed Achraf, the alleged mastermind of the suspected plot who was extradited last April from Switzerland, where he had been arrested in Oct. 2004 for an unrelated offense.
Spanish authorities suspect Achraf, a Moroccan, of planning to ram a truck loaded with 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) of explosives into the court in downtown Madrid. Authorities have never made clear when the attack might have been carried out.(snip)
