BERLIN German authorities said Friday they have arrested an al-Qaida suspect wanted by Spain on charges that he helped finance the terror network for years. Mamoun Darkazanli, 46, a Syrian-German dual national, was taken into custody in Hamburg on Friday on a Spanish warrant and is being held for possible extradition, city judicial spokeswoman Sabine Westphalen told The Associated Press.

Don't have a lot of faith in them actually charging him with anything. Look what happened to the other people they caught and let go.
YYYYYeeeesssss!!!!! Best news I've heard all day.
NOTE: It was NOT the work of the Federal Prosecutor which has lead to the acquittals in the cases Mzoudi and Motassadeq. Still, there are processes against both going on. It was the judges which rather believed "in dubio pro reo" instead following the hints. I´m sure that both terrorists will face penalties. If not in Germany, than in some other country to which Germany will extradite them.
LONDON (AP) - British authorities have decided to charge a radical Muslim cleric with terrorist offenses, pre-empting a bid from the United States to try him on similar charges, a British news agency reported Friday.
Press Association said British charges were likely to be filed next week against Abu Hamza al-Masri, who faces 11 charges in the United States.
Yeah, this guy......
Scary dude! Wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night.
"The CIA's attempts to enlist Mamoun Darkazanli were initiated in late 1999, at a time when three of the four Hamburg students who would later pilot the hijacked planes were first learning of the hijacking plot at an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan. Darkazanli, 44, has acknowledged knowing the three pilots, Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah, with whom he attended the same radical Hamburg mosque, Al Quds, and shared several common friends in this city's sizable but insular Muslim community."
