MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon has indicted eight more people on terrorism charges in connection with a group that had a suspected role in the September 11 attacks in the United States, a court official told CNN Monday.

The eight men allegedly provided logistical support for other suspects, including Ramzi Binalshibh, whom investigators say was a key al Qaeda operative involved in the 2001 attacks, the official said.

Binalshibh was arrested in Pakistan in 2002 and is in U.S. custody.

Investigators believe he attend a pre-September 11 planning summit in eastern Spain in July 2001, along with one of the hijackers, Mohamed Atta, thought to have been at the controls of the first plane to strike the World Trade Center in New York.

The indictments were issued last Friday but made public only on Monday, the official said.

1. Indictments? Trials? Don't they know they're "illegal combatants"?

George "If You're Not With Us You're Against Us" Bush might throw a tantrum and invade Spain. (Not by himself, of course. The "ownership" Fuhrer doesn't ever stoop to doing it himself.)

One of those charged is out on bail- 28 grand. Is it unusual that the US wouldn't want them tried here? (in, like, a normal due process kind of world?)
