How should governments
tackle possible threats of “terrorist” attacks? In
the past few years it’s been a constant dilemma for
auhorities and police all over the world. In Spain,
the authorities believe they have prevented a
massive attack. Eleven immigrants - 10 Pakistanis
and one Indian - were arrested almost a year and
half ago and charged with plotting bomb attacks on
underground railways in Barcelona and other European
cities. What should one make of Mohammed Ayub, one
of the accused? Family, friends and neighbours see
this naturalised Spanish citizen as an elderly
pastry cook and pious Muslim who dotes on his
grandchildren. The Instructing Judge sees him as the
head of a Jihadist terror cell linked to the Tablig
movement. This documentary looks at the case and the
issues it raises such as the nature of the fight
against terrorism and the erosion of Constitutional
freedoms. |
