[An Nahar] A court in Spain on Thursday convicted a Saudi man dubbed "al-Qaeda's librarian" of the charge of membership in a terrorist organization and sentenced his to eight years in jail.The National Court, the top criminal court in the country, also ordered that Mudhar Hussein Almalki be put on probation for nine years after his release from jail.
A three-judge panel ruled that the Jordanian-born Saudi national "belonged to the propaganda apparatus of the Ansar al Mujahideen Network since 2006" which is "without a doubt" an "al-Qaeda satellite group".
