Spain: Islamic jihadist linked to 9/11 arrested

"Islamic 'terrorist' linked to 9/11 arrested in Bilbao," from Expatica, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

BILBAO — Spanish police have arrested an alleged Islamic terrorist with links to al-Qaeda.

Algerian Tahar Izerouali was wanted by police as a supposed member of terrorist organisation Ansar al Islam, which has been linked to al-Qaeda.

The terrorist cell allegedly supplies false documents and cash to other Islamic extremists across Europe.

Before his arrest, Tahar Izerouali, 35, was leading a normal life in Bilbao, despite being named in an international arrest warrant.

He lived in Santutxu, in Bilbao, and worked as a painter.

Why, he was just an ordinary guy, neighbors said. Wouldn't hurt a fly. Great painter, too. This must be some kind of witchhunt.

Ha,Ha! Adolf Hitler did some painting too although not DIY. In fact it is believed by some psychiatrists [probably left wingers] that source of Hitler's rage was being refused entry more than once by the Vienna Academy which Adolf perceived as being run by 'Jews.' Mind you with psychopaths they can always 'find' a reason for killing. Muslims are even more fortunate as they can cite Islam and the
example of their murderous and perverted Prophet.
