Police on Wednesday arrested a Moroccan and three Algerians in connection with an alleged plot by a radical Islamic cell to blow up a court and other buildings in Spain, officials said. The three Algerians, who were not immediately identified, were arrested Wednesday night in the southeastern city of Gandia. One was described as a right-hand man of Mohamed Achraf, who police suspect of masterminding a plot to ram a truck loaded with 1,100 pounds of explosives into Madrid’s National Court, a hub of anti-terror investigations. Achraf is being held in Switzerland, and Spain last week requested his extradition. The Moroccan, Faisal Allouch, 24, arrested earlier at his home in the outskirts of Madrid, was already a suspect in the Madrid train bombings.Full Story
