Moroccan suspected terrorist found hung in Spanish jail

A Moroccan suspected member of a terrorist group that projected attacks in Madrid, was found, Thursday, hung in his prison cell in the Spanish jail of Zuera (north).

Guards found the body of Mustapha Zeniber, hung with his belt in the shower of the cell where he was in solitary confinement, prison sources said.

Zeniber, 42, was condemned in 1996 to 29 years in jail after he burned alive his compatriot Youssef Bachir in 1994.

According to reports of the prison's administration, he became a radical Islamist militant during his stay in jail. He reportedly invited co-inmates to the prison's cafeteria to celebrate the terrorist attacks that killed last March over 190 in Madrid.

In November 2004, anti-terrorist judge Baltasar Garzon accused him of belonging to an Islamic network that planned attacks against government buildings in Madrid.
