32 Indicted in Spain for Courthouse Plot
By MARIA JESUS PRADES, Associated Press Writer

MADRID, Spain - A judge indicted 32 people for an alleged 2004 plot to carry out a massive truck bombing against Madrid's National Court, the hub of Spain's anti-terror investigations, authorities said Tuesday.

The 32 men, mostly Algerians, were charged with membership in a terrorist organization, conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack and forgery, Judge Fernando Grande-Marlaska said in his ruling from March 13.

All but three of the suspects are already in jail, including alleged mastermind Abderrahmane Tahiri, alias Mohamed Achraf, who was extradited from Switzerland in April 2005.

Spanish authorities suspect Tahiri planned to ram a truck loaded with 1,100 pounds of explosives into the court in downtown Madrid.
