Guilty verdict for head of Spanish Al-Qaeda cell

A Spanish court today handed Syrian Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, alias Abu Dahdah, a 27-year jail sentence for 'conspiracy' in the organisation of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US as verdicts fell in Europe's biggest Al-Qaeda trial to date. And our media is so US centric it isn't even reported in the US press.

Wow, what an idea, trials for Al-Qaeda suspects. In the 4 years since 9/11 we've had one and it would still be going on if he hadn't pleaded guilty on April 22nd. Instead we just put people in prison in Cuba or send them to another country to be tortured.
