Spanish suspect questioned in al-Qaida trial
A trial of 24 suspected al-Qaida members, including three accused of helping plot the September 11, 2001, attacks in the US, went into its second day today with the lone native-born Spaniard among defendants again taking the stand.
When Europe’s biggest trial of alleged al-Qaida militants began on Friday, Luis Jose Galan told prosecutors he rejected all forms of terrorism. He also parried a prosecutor’s questions about evidence against him, including guns found in his home after his arrest in November 2001 and an email from another suspect in Indonesia asking that Galan send him weapons.
