(Madrid, Spain) A Moroccan man, 29-year-old Faiçal Errai, has been sentenced by Spain's High Court to six years in prison for operating websites to recruit Islamist terrorists for Ansar Al Mujahideen, a group linked to Al-Qaeda.
In its ruling, the High Court said Errai ran pro-jihad internet forums and websites which recruited terrorists “to kill or set themselves alight or carry out suicide attacks in conflicts in northern Africa and south-west Asia," according to Spanish media reports.Because he didn't actually blow something up, Faiçal Errai is considered to be working with terrorists and not a terrorist himself. Therefore, he was treated leniently.
But while the court was able to show Errai had — from his home in the popular coastal holiday spot of Denia — "been at the disposition of Ansar Al Mujahideen on a permanent basis", Judge Fernando Grande-Marlaska said there was no proof Errai was "an integral part of the network".
