By Madrid Bureau Chief Al Goodman

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A Spanish court has ordered the provisional release from jail of 10 of the 30 suspected Islamic extremists charged with plotting to bomb Madrid's anti-terrorism court pending a verdict.


Security at the Spanish National Court in Madrid has since been stepped up.

But five of the 10 will remain in jail on other charges, a court spokeswoman told CNN.

In addition, the five others who will leave jail are under orders to report every Monday to the police station nearest to their home, and to surrender their passports and not leave Spanish territory, according to a copy of the court order viewed by CNN on Monday.

The trial started last October and concluded on January 14. The three-judge panel hearing the case are now deliberating for a verdict that is not expected for at least several weeks, the spokeswoman said.

But the decision to release the suspects does not necessarily mean they will be acquitted, a court source told CNN. The judges decided that the suspects were entitled to be out of jail pending a verdict, the source said.

The alleged terrorists planned to kill hundreds of judges, prosecutors, support staff and police officers who work daily at the National Court, which tries cases of terrorism, according to a prosecution document viewed by CNN.

They also planned to destroy files against other Islamic terrorist suspects, including those linked to the Madrid train bombings, the document added.

In the summer of 2004 -- soon after the March 11, 2004 Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people and wounded 1,800 others -- a key suspect in alleged courthouse plot sought to obtain 500 kg (1,100 lbs) of explosives for the courthouse attack, the prosecution document said.

The second court source earlier told CNN that all of the defendants insisted on their innocence at arraignments and other pre-trial hearings.

The trial took place in a secure basement courtroom equipped with bullet-proof glass separating the defendants from the judges and more bullet-proof glass separating the public from the court.

The defendants include 19 Algerians, 5 Moroccans and others from Mauritania, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon and Spain.

Prosecutors base their case on testimony and documentation provided by a Moroccan man operating as a police informant and on wiretaps and intercepted correspondence between some of the suspects, according to the document and the second court source.

Police arrested most of the suspects in October 2004. Many of them had been convicted of other crimes and were serving time in prison, the document said.

At the time of the arrests, an attack on the courthouse "would have been easy," the second court source said. There are streets on three sides of the courthouse, and a main street runs next to the building.

The courthouse has since increased security, installing thick metal barriers to block traffic on the side and back of the building. E-mail to a friend

Ceuta Hindus to Celebrate Ganesh Visarjan
Sat, 2007-09-15 03:04

Ceuta, Spain, 15 September, (Asiantribune.com): The Hindus love celebrations. To the festival of Sri Krishna Janmasthami, which took place four days ago, add the celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi (Ganesha's birthday), which will be carried out today.
Juan Carlos Ramchandani, the local Hindu priest, says, "In India they make clay images of Ganesh, which can get up to heights of ten meters. After the worship and adoration of the images they are submerged in the sea, river or lake, during a ritual called Visharjan. On this day offerings of sweet rice, laddus (sweets made from chick-pea flour) and coconuts are made. In the city of Mumbai (the new name for Bombay) this is the biggest and most colorful festival of the year."
Every year in Ceuta about fifty of members of the Hindu community do a walking procession, accompanying a figure of Ganesh, through the main streets of the city. The celebration ends with the submersion of His image into the Mediterranean sea.
According to Ramchandani, "Ganesh is the older son of Shiva and Parvati. He is the divinity of prosperity and one is in charge of science and abilities." Because of this, "His name is invoked in the beginning of any ceremony, when a trip is planned, a wedding is celebrated, or a house or property is inaugurated." The priest added, "In 1995 Ganesh surprised the entire world, believers and the non-believing, when His images began to drink milk; a miracle which lasted three days. This miracle happened initially in a Ganesha temple in Delhi and then spread around the planet."
Ceuta is located on the southern coast of the Strait of Gilbraltar. www.elfaroceutamelilla.com
La comunidad hindú rendirá culto a Ganesh
Por : Juanmi Armuña


Al igual que la comunidad hebrea, la hindú también está de celebraciones. A la festividad de Sri Krishna Janmasthami (aparición del Señor Krishna), la cual tuvo lugar el pasado día 4, se le suma la llamada Ganesh Chaturthi, que se llevará a cabo el próximo sábado, jornada en la que se celebrará el nacimiento de Ganesh.
Tal como indicó el sacerdote hindú Juan Carlos Ramchandani, “en la India se hacen imágenes en arcilla de Ganesh, las cuales pueden llegar a tener alturas de hasta diez metros. Después de la adoración son sumergidas en el mar, río o lago, durante un ritual que recibe el nombre de Visharjan”.
“En esta jornada, se ofrecen también postres de arroz dulce, ‘laddus’ (dulces de harina de garbanzo) y cocos. En la ciudad de Mumbai (antiguo Bombay) se suelen organizar los más grandes y coloridos festivales”, apuntó el sacerdote.

La celebración en Ceuta consiste en realizar una procesión en la que se pasea por las principales calles de la ciudad a la figura de Ganesh. Cada año, una media de medio centenar de miembros de la comunidad hindú acompañan a la imagen del dios hasta el final del recorrido, en el que se sumerje en el mar.

Según añadió Ramchandani, “Ganesh es el hijo mayor de Shiva y Parvati. Es la divinidad de la prosperidad y se encarga de la ciencia y las habilidades”. De esta manera, “su nombre se invoca al comienzo de cualquier ceremonia, cuando se planea un viaje, se celebra una boda, o se inaugura una casa o propiedad”.
“En 1995, la deidad de Ganesh sorprendió al mundo entero, creyentes y no creyentes, cuando comenzó a beber leche de forma milagrosa durante tres días. Este milagro sucedió inicialmente en el templo Siddhi-Vinayaka, en la ciudad de Mumbai, hasta que se expandió por todo el mundo”, apuntó el sacerdote hindú.

Million-year-old human tooth found in Spain
Mon Jul 2, 6:59 AM ET

MADRID (AFP) - Spanish researchers on Friday said they had unearthed a human tooth more than one million years old, which they estimated to be the oldest human fossil remain ever discovered in western Europe.


Jose Maria Bermudez de Castro, co-director of research at the Atapuerca site said the molar, discovered on Wednesday in the Atapuerca Sierra in the northern province of Burgos, could be as much as 1.2 million years old.

"The tooth represents the oldest human fossil remain of western Europe. Now we finally have the anatomical evidence of the hominids that fabricated tools more than one million years ago," the Atapuerca Foundation said in a statement.

"Since it is an isolated fossil remain, it is not possible at this point to confirm which Homo species this tooth belongs to," the foundation added, but said first analyses "allow us to suppose it is an ancestor of Homo antecessor (pioneer)."

In 1994 at the nearby Gran Dolina site several Homo antecessor fossils were uncovered, suggesting human occupation of Europe around 800,000 years ago, whereas scientists had previously believed the continent had only been inhabited for around half a million years.

Subsequent findings in various sites across Spain lent further credence to the earlier date.

The Sierra Atapuerca contains several caves such as the Gran Dolina site, where fossils and stone tools of Europe's earliest known hominids have been found.

Researchers found the molar in the Sima del Elefante section of the sierra which had previously yielded fossils from mammals including bison, deer and bear as well as birds and a mouse.

The foundation said studies of the geological level suggested it was more than one million years old but that final results were being awaited prior to "publishing this extraordinary finding in a research journal of the highest scientific prestige."

Bermudez de Castro, one of three paleontologists leading the expedition, said the fossil appeared to be "well worn" and from an individual aged between 20-25.

"For the time being we have no idea what species but there is no doubt, from the (geological) level where the tooth was found, that it belonged to the oldest European found to date," he added.

Excavations in recent years in the sierra have uncovered human remains ranging from early humans through the Bronze Age to modern man.

Atapuerca's most famous site is "Sima de los Huesos" (pit of bones) and fossils found there date from at least 350,000 years ago.
