| Moroccan court upholds sentence against Madrid bomber |
| 2009-03-07 |
| A Moroccan appellate court Thursday (March 5th) upheld a 20-year prison sentence imposed last December on Abdelillah Ahriz, 29, for involvement in the 2004 Madrid train bombings that killed nearly 200 people, local and international press reported. Ahriz left Morocco for Spain in 1999. About a year ago, the Moroccan judicial police remanded Ahriz into custody upon request by Spanish authorities. |
