Spain acquits Sept 11 suspect of conspiracy charge
MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's High Court acquitted on Thursday a man accused of conspiring to help commit the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, court papers said.
Judicial sources said the man, known as Abu Dahdah, would serve 12 years in jail for leading a terrorist group rather than the full 27 years to which he had been sentenced.
Abu Dahdah, whose full name is Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, was accused of being an al Qaeda member.
"We must absolve, and we do absolve, Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas of the crime of conspiracy to commit terrorist murder for which he was accused," the court document said.
It added that other convictions of Abu Dahdah still stood.
He's guilty, but not guilty.
Spain is run by terrorist-sympathizing socialist thugs.
After this, it is their funeral.
Sans rehab, Spain is doing western civilization a disservice if they let him out on the street again.
How can it be said he "served his debut to society" if he wants said society destroyed?
Preaching to the choir here.
It is Spain's funeral, if they think that going easy on a self-confessed terrorist is going to earn them points with the global jihad.
It only makes them more of a target. Thus, it is their funeral.
De-doo-doo-doo, de-dah-dah-dah, is all I want to say to you.
concur
they'll grab their ankles and rename the place, "Al Andalus". they need another El Cid..
They're just trying to ensure their trains run on time..
Sounds like a jury of his peers.
At the top tier of Western leaders of the anti-Terrorist charge is Judge Garzon of Spain. He must be shocked by the truly astounding decision reached by the Court. Yarkas, a Syrian Muslim Brother, arrived in Spain in 1986. With his group of Syrian brothers he created the Soldiers of Allah, and helped reconstruct the Muslim Brotherhood in Spain. He used the Abu Bakr mosque in Madrid to spread his Jihadist poison. He worked closely with Abu Kutada, a Jordanian radical who settled in Britain. In Spain, Garzon charged Yarkas (Abu Dahdah) with personal knowledge of, and conspiring to, organize the 9/11 attack. I would think the USA would be interested in his extradition when his time spent in Spanish jail is finished.
and countries like Spain wonder why we won't extradite the foreign terrorists we catch...
Disgusting display of dhimmitude. El Andalus (as is called by Muslims) grinds slowly and steadily toward the oppression of Islam.
"He's guilty, but not guilty."
A "definite maybe".
The new Muslem nation of Spain (just like before).
good luck to them....they will need it.
flaming a-holes.
Spain was initially very supportive of us after 9/11. However, Spain is also totally in the thrall of a leftist media, which almost immediately adopted the New York Times talking points and started to blame us for 9/11. Once the Muslims managed to redirect the course of the Spanish elections with the March 11 bombings and get the Socialists into power, it was all over.
Spain is now firmly in the Islamic camp. There are many Spaniards who object to this, but the left and the Muslims have formed their alliance in Spain and I think, barring some strange and unpredictable realignment of forces, they will roll right over the rest of Spain.
You mean that Spain has given into the terrorists yet again?
I'm shocked.
Sounds like they get to keep him in jail and thumb their noses at the US at the same time.
