Three of the fourteen Islamic terrorist suspects detained in Barcelona are believed to be suicide bombers who were planning an imminent attack on the transport system in the city.
Police detained the fourteen suspects in a raid on Saturday, also seizing various explosives, detonators and other bomb-making materials. However, it is thought that these materials were only for ‘practice’ and that the ‘real’ bombs were to have been made later.
The three would-be suicide bombers have been named as Mohamed Shoaib, Mehmooh Khalid and Imram Cheema, all of whom arrived from Pakistan during the past three months. Based on the police investigation and information from a witness now under police protection, judge Moreno of the National Court ordered ten of the fourteen suspects to be remanded in custody.
The police are also investigating the theory that the group, twelve Pakistanis and two Indians, were actually planning two simultaneous, or near simultaneous, bomb attacks, one in Barcelona and one somewhere in France…..
