Spanish judge indicts 11 on terror charges

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A Spanish judge has indicted 11 men, most of them from Pakistan, for membership of a terrorist group that allegedly aimed to carry out suicide attacks on Barcelona's mass transit system last January, according to a copy of the indictment viewed by CNN on Thursday.

Eight of the 11 suspects also were indicted for weapons possession.

The indictment said the group had achieved "operational capacity" at a human level and was "very close to achieving full technical capacity with explosives" with the alleged aim of "committing various terrorist suicide attacks between last January 18 and 20 on public transport in the city of Barcelona."

Ten of the suspects have been held in jail in Spain since their arrest in January in Barcelona. Authorities at the time said police swept in to make arrests before any potential attacks could occur.

The eleventh suspect was arrested Thursday in Holland, the National Court source told CNN.

National Court Judge Ismael Moreno issued the six-page indictment June 3, and it included an arrest warrant for the eleventh suspect, who was arrested Thursday. The indictment was made public Thursday.

Ten of the suspects were born in Pakistan, including the one arrested in Holland on Thursday. The other suspect was born in India.
