Muslim terrorists really are whiny little cowards.  Unless the tables are
turned, then they are typical bullies.

Al-Qaeda suspect cries in testimony at Sept. 11 trial in Madrid

Abdulla Khayata Katan, a Spaniard from Syria, testifies at the Sept. 11
trial in Madrid. The alleged al-Qaeda militant cried as he sought to answer
charges that he was a member of a group that helped plot the terrorist
attacks.

MADRID, Spain - An alleged al-Qaeda militant cried Wednesday after taking
the stand on charges that he belonged to a cell accused of helping to plot
the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States.

Abdulla Khayata Katan, a 29-year-old Spaniard of Syrian origin, denied any
wrongdoing and said he was abused and humiliated at a Jordanian jail before
being turned over to Spanish authorities in February of last year. Katan is
accused of belonging to a terrorist organization but not direct involvement
in Sept. 11 planning.

Katan said he was insulted and physically abused while held in solitary
confinement for 15 days in Jordan before being turned over to Spain. "They
stepped on me. They humiliated me," he told the court.

He said that when he arrived in Madrid in handcuffs, he could not believe
what was happening to him.

"I thought it was a dream," he said.

Prosecutors say that while living in Spain, Katan was recruited in 1995 to
travel to Bosnia and teach Islamic fighters at a terrorism training camp. He
returned to Spain in 1996, formed an off-shoot of a Spanish al-Qaeda cell
and aided mujahedeen fighting in Bosnia and Afghanistan, according to
prosecutor Pedro Rubira.

Katan is one of 24 suspected al-Qaeda members on trial in Madrid since April
22.

Three of the 24 are accused specifically of helping plot the Sept. 11
attacks in the United States. The other 21 face charges of terrorism,
illegal possession of weapons or explosives and other offenses.
