Breitbart adds more about the good imam's history:
Abdelbaki Es Satty, 40, lived with Mohammed Mrabet Fahsi in Vilanova i la Geltru, a coastal town about 30 miles southwest of Barcelona between 2003 and 2005.

Mr. Fahsi was accused of recruiting fighters for jihadist causes in Iraq and Syria. He was jugged
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
 in 2006 in Spain as he prepared to move to the United Kingdom, and locked away
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
 for funding terrorism.

A Salafi mosque in the town of Vilanova i la Geltru, is reported to have been known for preaching a radical message.

Three other al Qaeda suspects also stayed in the flat, including Belgacem Bellil, an Algerian who went kaboom! in Iraq in 2003, killing 14 Italians and nine Iraqis.

The radical group living in Vilanova i la Geltru had contact with another terror cell in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, north of Barcelona, which helped the Madrid bombers to escape, local media reported.

Es Satty spent at least two years in prison from 2012 for smuggling cannabis between North Africa and Spain, El Periodico newspaper reported. There, he befriended Rachid Aglif, who was locked away
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
 for 18 years for the Madrid atrocity in which 192 people died.
