Islamist cell linked to UK militants

The Islamist cell broken up by Spanish police last week and
suspected of helping prepare the September 11 attacks was in
close and continuous contact with Islamic militants in Britain.
Abu Dahdah, the Syrian-born Spanish leader of the group, made 20
trips to Britain in four years to confer with British-based militants,
according to court documents seen by the Guardian.
Judge Baltasar Garzon, the examining magistrate leading the
investigation, yesterday named Abu Dahdah's four main contacts in
Britain. Head of the list was Abu Qatada, a Jordanian cleric living in
London who has repeatedly denied involvement with al-Qaida, and
is reportedly on a list of suspects MI5 wants to intern.
Judge Garzon described Abu Qatada as "the spiritual leader of
mojahedins across Europe".
He also named his former "right-hand man" Abu Walid, who is now
believed to be in Afghanistan, as another principal Abu Dahdah
contact in London. The two other people named by Judge Garzon
were Abu Al Hareth, considered t
o be the "official representative of Osama bin Laden in the United Kingdom", and a
former mojahedin leader in Bosnia named as Abu Bashir.
All the names are believed to be aliases. Abu Qatada, whose real name is known to be
Omah Abu Omar, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a Jordanian military court 1n
1999 for his alleged involvement in a series of bombi
ngs. He was granted political asylum in Britain in 1993. The
Jordanian authorities believe he is linked to Bin Laden and helped
finance a group of 13 extremists arrested in Jordan on suspicion
of planning terrorist attacks to coincide with the millennium.
Abu Qatada was arrested by British police in February along with a
group of Algerian al-Qaida suspects, but released without charge.
His British bank account was frozen two months ago.
Spanish prosecutors said yesterday that allegations that Abu
Dahdah and the seven others remanded in custody were involved in
September 11 plotting were based on phone taps and an address
book found at the Hamburg apartment of suicide pilot Mohammed
Atta.
