Telde - 24.11.2007 - 31-year-old Sidi Blaiha was expected to face at least a year in prison for caus­ing a breach of the peace in the town when he took to the streets wearing a Bin Laden T-shirt and shouted to passers-by that he “was glad Al-Qaeda had blown up the trains”, killing 194 people.  His trial in Madrid’s Criminal Court, which has sole jurisdiction over terror­ism offences, was halted immediately after the only person who had agreed to take the witness stand to confirm his behaviour failed to appear to give evi­dence.

Blaiha’s lawyer said after­wards that his client had been treated unfairly and the prosecution service knew there was no chance of a conviction. However, the acquittal has angered locals in Telde, who say that the Moroccan was treated too leniently and want him to be deported immediately.
