[ALMANAR.LB] Spanish judges on Friday tossed in the calabooseDon't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! 11 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant' (ISIL) that recruited gunnies for suicide kabooms in Syria. The men were all handed sentences of between 10 and 12 years after the judges found them guilty of sending "numerous jihadists to Syria", several of whom died in suicide kabooms, a statement from Madrid's National Court said. Based in Spain's North African enclave Ceuta, they sent at least 28 people to Syria between April 2012 and June 2013, when they were tossed in the slammer Book 'im, Mahmoud! , the court said. At least eight of their recruits bit the dust in "terrorist acts... in which hundreds of people died". The court handed 12-year sentences to Karim Abdeselam Mohammed and Ismail Abdellatif Al-Lal both of whom were convicted of leading a "terrorist organization." The others were each sentenced to 10 years of prison after being convicted of belonging to the gang. The court said the sentences were justified by "the radicalization and danger posed by them all and the seriousness of the actions carried out by the cell that they voluntarily joined". More than 100 people from Spain are suspected of having joined terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria and authorities fear they may return to launch attacks. In a major crackdown on terrorist cells, including those operating online, Spanish police have arrested scores of suspected recruiters in recent years. |
