A Spanish court charged 11 Islamists on Thursday with offenses related to suicide bombings which it said they had been planning in Barcelona and Germany.
A High Court document said 10 of the men had been on the brink of carrying out suicide bombings on public transport in Barcelona when they were arrested in Spain's second-largest city in January.
The court also requested an international arrest warrant for a Pakistani who it said had travelled from Spain to Germany to carry out a suicide attack on an unidentified target but then left for the Netherlands without doing so.
Ten of the men were born in Pakistan and one in India, the court said, and all were members of Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic missionary movement.
All were charged with being members of a terrorist conspiracy and eight were also charged with possessing explosives, although the court said they did not have enough to cause large explosions.
The accused could face up to about 20 years in prison if found guilty of both offenses.
Spain withdrew their troops from Iraq shortly after electing a cowardly left-wing government. Sounds like that wasn't enough to mollify the terrorists.
