An update on this story. "Extremists plotted attacks across Europe, Spanish paper says," from CNN:
MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Suspected Islamic extremists arrested last week in Barcelona were planning al Qaeda-style attacks in Spain, Germany, France, Britain and Portugal, according to an informant who "infiltrated" the group, Spain's El Pais newspaper reports.
"If we attack the metro [subway system in Barcelona], the emergency services can't get there," one of the suspected suicide bombers told the informant, El Pais reported on Saturday. "Our preference is public transport, especially the metro."
El Pais reported that it had access to the informant's testimony to Spanish officials.
CNN has confirmed that authorities have given high importance to an informant's testimony.
The judge who ordered 10 suspects held for allegedly plotting a suicide attack in Barcelona, cited in his rulings the testimony of an informant. CNN has viewed the rulings.
Spain's Interior Minister last Friday said an informant warned of a planned suicide attack against Barcelona's metro on the weekend of January 18 to 20. But he added that, for now, "there is only the testimony of an informant" regarding the timing.
The informant told authorities the cell comprised six suicide bombers, including himself, El Pais reported on Saturday.
Spain's attorney general, Candido Conde-Pumpido, said last week that the cell could have contained six suicide bombers, two explosives experts and two ideologues.
Judge Ismael Moreno, in rulings last Wednesday, wrote that the informant had named three suspected suicide bombers and an explosives expert, all of whom had traveled from Pakistan to Barcelona since last summer. The judge ordered these four men held, out the total of 10 jailed suspects who are from South Asia.
They include nine Pakistani nationals and a man from India, who is Muslim.
A court-appointed translator told CNN that all 10 suspects testified during their arraignments that they were innocent.
The cell planned three attacks in Spain, one in Germany and others in France, Britain and Portugal, according to the informant, El Pais reported.
On Sunday, another El Pais story added that the "wave of attacks" was to have been carried out by the Barcelona group and other extremist Pakistani cells were to attack elsewhere in Europe.
Read it all.
I wonder what the French and Germans would have to say about this. After all, they're not in Iraq and they vehemently opposed the war from the beginning. So much for trying to appease Islamists.

This is not just about Iraq, that is one battlefield.
You forget that the French and Germans are in Afghanistan and they are fighting the jihadists in Europe, this is why French and German citizens are being targeted both at home and abroad.
Foreign military intervention or non-intervention has nothing to do with radical Islam's War on the West. First, this is a resumption of offensive hostilities against Europe broken off in 1683. Second, this is another jihadist campaign of destabilization in anticipation of regaining yet another Islamic irrendenta--not just Palestine, or Kashmir, but fabled al-Andalus.
leon,
Say! Do you know that we put a plug in for you to be awarded an Official JihadWatch T-Shirt (and Cap). No kidding!
“Spain's attorney general, Candido Conde-Pumpido, said last week that the cell could have contained six suicide bombers, two explosives experts and TWO IDEOLOGUES.”
What could be more obvious? Islamic ideology is central to these guys. These terror cells are getting pumped up with jihad ideology and I am sure there are plenty of Koran and Hadith chanted endlessly in their meetings.
Why don’t the ‘two ideologues’ blow themselves up too?
Perhaps the Euro-peons aren't surrending fast enough to please the purveyors of the Caliphate?
Spain tried to cringe convincingly after the Madrid Bombings, but I guess it wasn't sufficiently grovel-icious.
Maybe utterly crushing the homicidal lunatics who threaten your Civilization will NOW be put on the table?
Let this be a reminder to us all in the free and civilised world that we have to be vigilant.
I seriously believe that special attention has to be paid by our security agencies to any Pakistani national going through any border or staying in any country in Europe, as controversial and outrageous that may seem to the dhimmi left.
If the peacful Pakistanis go up in arms about it -well they know who and what is to blame for that.

Pakistani profiling would be insensitive to the needs of the jihadi bombers.
One thing we must never be is insensitive to the needs of others. That would be racist.
Oh you islamophobes! They're all innocent!
MADRID - Islamic and Pakistani community leaders in Catalonia have called for the release of 14 South Asians arrested at the weekend on charges of terrorism, arguing that all are “innocent.”
“They practiced Islam with friends and acquaintances. They have no connection with any sort of terrorism,” Afzal Ahmed, the president of the Federation of Pakistanis of Barcelona, told reporters in a press conference yesterday.

"Our preference is public transport, especially the metro."
It's enough to make one appreciate the dearth of public transit systems in the US. Fewer targets and the more high value systems are now better secured.

Europe and America, better wake up. Otherwise you will be runover like India.
See the news ? One of the detainees is an Indian. And in India islamisation has come to such an extent that the country is now a favourite outsourcing destination even for jihad matters ?
Poor, poor Hindus. They also have to take a lot of bad name because racially they are the same as these Muslim pigs.
The people who are blowing up bombs in civilian areas are merely acting impulsively on the anger that they feel; they are not helping matters in any way.
By acting thoughtlessnessly, they are playing into the hands of their enemies who are clever in playing the propaganda war.
There are real issues between these two groups involved in the war (ie jews Vs muslims) and in many ways this stands for the most natural and logical struggle of all time as it is a claer case of good vs evil.
Both groups want to dominate the world and make people slaves although with a difference: the jews want to make all the non-jews theiir slaves while the muslims want to make people the slaves of God. Interesting to see how this war will pan out.
The jews are very systematic in their struggle and may probably win this while most of the muslims are passive and full of torpor: unlike jews they do not have clear undderstanding of the issues at hand or the objectives they seek to achieve, so they merely run around in random action blowing up bombs and thinking the problem is solved.
The jews on the other hand are calm and calculating and work with amazing precision and effectiveness to overcome their enemies.
In many ways, all the wars that the jews have been fighting against the non-jews were mere struggles against people aho had only the approximation of the truth, but this new war is not a distraction any more: it is a face up of two real enemies with decisive goals. when one side is defeated, they will be no other enemy to overcome: it will mean just straight domination of the world with the exception of a few conflicts here and there.
so the jews are milking to the full the blunders of the islamists who are blowing up bombs everywhere in europe. However it may just be possible that the jews are actually setting up this bombs knowing full well the muslims will be blamed: remember oklahoma bombing?
Thank you guys
Nazi-fake-Jew-troll alert!
Indeed, sheik, though jew-haters are no longer limited to the NSDAP. It's quaint how the tenor is not too different from, say, Russian antisemitism -- "cold and calculating jews" taking advantage of the slow, passive, and impulsive natives.
My placement of our "jews want to enslave the world" pal here would be a western muslim, perhaps a convert, under 25 years old.
Make the world slaves to god, yea right.
I do wish that they would stop saying Islamic extremists.. They are not extremists it is part of Islam and what they are all supposed to do to further allahs cause..they are just being good Muslims and insuring themselves a place in paradise with their whores.. To die while killing the infidels is the only way that they are insured a place in this paradise with all those virgins.. sick eh, they are not allowed to have sex outside marriage here on earth but are allowed to have sex with as many virgins as they want up there (male or female whit ever their preference), double standards eh..
Sorry, the link to my above post is the wrong one. If you wanna see how innocent the bombers of Al Andaluz are, you have to go to this link:
http://sheikyermami.com/2008/01/24/barcelona-mosque-headquarter-for-islamic-terror-cell/
I cannot understand why there are so many people and countries who hate Jews and so many people want them gone when they have done nothing, yet there is world wide Muslim violence and the governments of the world panda to these animals who want us all dead unless we submit, they can deny it as much as they like but many of us out here have read their horror books...
Where is the outcry and the fatwas against the Muslims who committee violence against the world. IF violence isn't part of Islam then why are Muslims world wide so silent about those who kill, and why do they get upset when we question them at airports etc, one would think that they would be so understanding and glad that we are also protecting them from their own... the reason why is that it is all part of their holy books.
It is because of the Jews that we have hundreds of medical and industrial miracles, their inventions have saved the lives of many thousands of people every month and people want them off the face of the earth... For goodness sake lets look at what is really the trouble of the world...
We have WORLD WIDE NON STOP MUSLIM VIOLENCE, not Jews, not buddists, not hundus not catholice but just Juslims causing violence in the whole world.. yes we can argue that it is the Jews fault in Israel if we are so blind but what about the violence which is in other parts of the world.
What do these countries have in common,, UK, Spain, Tunisia, Iraq, Russia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kenya, Tanzania, Bali, Indonesia, Philippines, USR, Egypt, Britain, etc they have all been struck by terror attacks.
Then there is :
Nigeria, Sudan, Israel, Lebanon, Armenia, Macedonia, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Chechnya, Russia, Kashmir, and the Philippines and many others. and this is not even counting the countries where Muslims have gang raped the women of the countries who have been kind enough to take them in when these immigrants said?? that they were scared for their lives back home.. great appreciation to the countries that have adopted them eh.. but then Mohammad and his merry men also did the same
Rape, plunder, looting, torture, and murder are justifiable under Muhammad, and Mohammad raid many towns for their loot, slaves and women so what else can we expect from the hordes, read it for yourselves it is all their in their books what Mohammad did....
" remember oklahoma bombing?
Thank you guys
Posted by: Goldberg""
...what is your theory on this incident...?
The oklahoma bombing was done by a conservative Christian who cited chapter and verse of the Bible as the foundation for his ideology,right?
Oh, and right after the bombings, several conservative Christian leaders demanded that he be released, since (they say) "He is only a naive kid".
What's worse is that after that bombing, Christians have been comiting world wide terrorrist activities spaming from Indonesia to Russia.
Goldberg:What can I say.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And I really mean this from the bottom of my heart.
THANK YOU
Just when imbecility had reached it's apex then up you pop.
You're like the son of Mr Carr. Mini Carr.
Purer, ever more deranged and demented. The dribble is that more obvious, the eyes that much more bulbous.
I thank you. Really.
Goldberg":The jews on the other hand are calm and calculating and work with amazing precision and effectiveness to overcome their enemies.'
If only, if only. You've been watching too many episodes of "Bilko". Ever met two Jews who agree? Me neither. I'd rather herd cats.
Mr Goldberg:so the jews are milking to the full the blunders of the islamists who are blowing up bombs everywhere in europe
I know, I know, It's the same
with me. I hear some Islamists kill countless civilians and the first thing I say to myself is "Bloody murdering Jew bastards"
Islamist terror is all because of the Jooooooooooz.
You've seen the light too. But how can we somehow tell the World that Bin Laden is in fact as Jewish fabrication? How? Any answers?
Goldberg:"the jews want to make all the non-jews theiir slaves
But of course, that's a given. I'm, in fact, astonished that you even bothered to state it. It's obvious. Really obvious. In fact, the mere fact that you have to say the Jews are out to dominate the World suggests, however subconsciously, that you are, in fact, part of Zionist World Domination Program (ZWDP).
Admit it.
BTW. The ZWDP is different from the UZDP - Universal Zionist Domination Program - who have different copyrights, trademarks, logos, etc. They used to be the same organisation until Israel Gershowitz and his brother Mane Israel fell out over who was the bigger Shcmuck.
Anyway, thanks for the head's up" -"heads up" is groovy speak for "heads up"- about Jewish World domination.
Don't worry. Everyone's aware of the problem. The key is to keep on popping those jazzy coloured pills the Doc prescribed after your last "It's the Joooooooz" outburst.
Goldberg--
Wow. Every once in a while there's a comment where I'm torn between deleting it because it's offensive, or letting it stay because it's so ridiculous (and in this case, exemplifies an, uh, interesting world view).
I'm letting this one stay. Honestly, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

ewha1: your insights into Jewish World Domination--Theory & Practice are priceless.
Vile classic antisemitism. Enough to give impaired reasoning a bad name.
"Goldberg" has no shame. What, then, is this troll's game?
Once we know the answer, "Goldberg" should be ceremoniously banned.
Tarred, feathered, and ridden-out on a rail would be exemplary.
Sorry, ewha1, for abruptly shifting my focus, there--I only mentioned you parenthetically; then I went on to describe and decry "Goldberg."
John C
LOL, really? Thats fantastic! TY
JohnC:No need, your original post was perfectly clear. When you read people like "Goldberg" it's so derranged, you laugh, then realising he's absolutely serious, you laugh out more: finally, it dawns on you that there are many many powerful people who hold views as crazy as Mr "Goldberg". That former Turkish PM who thought that WW1 was a Jewish conspiracy, for example. Walt Disney was grade A fruit too when it came to the ZOCU - Zionist Oppresion Conspiracy Unit. The ZOCU was affiliated with the JWSG -Jewish World Subversion Plan-, which shouldn't be confused with the JWSG -Jewish Watford Subversion Plan..... blah blah blah
That "WW1 is a Zionist Plot" meme, that that Turkish PM would rant about, forgot his name, is just sooooooo off the wall, you instinctively start to chuckle, no matter how many times you read it.
JohnC:"ewha1: your insights into Jewish World Domination--Theory & Practice are priceless.'
Many thanks. Don't forget. The Jewish Conspiracy -patent pending- is behind -to name but a few
a) The meltdown of East Asian economies in late 90s - Malaysian PM
b) WW1 - Turkish PM
c) The Great Depression - Hitler
d) 9-11 - huge % of Muslims
e) Princess Diana's death. So what if the driver was whizzing through narrow Parisien streets, smashed out of his head on booze and medicine?
f) Any and all injustices to befall any non Jew. Ever. EVER
(The following are from the great "Goldberg's" own peerless research)
g) Meteorite showers. "Goldberg" has intelligence that proves that there's a direct correlation between the number of Likudnik speeches in the Knesset with falling rocks from outer space. The reason so far eludes him.
h) That clicking sound on the telephone. Research suggests it's a code being sent out to the Zionist agents from a volcano somewhere in downtown Hollywood staffed by sexy girls in bikinis who travel everywhere by retro-cheezy-style-chrome-plated monorail
i) The enduring and mystifying popularity of "The Price is Right". The "Goldberg" institute has noticed that the prices, when rearranged, a few added, some removed, then read from the back, are in fact co ordinates to Israel's secret base of suicide mice. Nuclear armed mice will zero onto all people who wear gold. The price goes through the roof. The EZGH (Evil Zionist Gold Hoarders) make a killing. And the World will be mine. Nyaah, nyaah, nyaah, nyaah.
