A Spanish judge on Friday jailed six Algerians on provisional charges of aiding terror groups linked to al-Qaida in North Africa.

Judge Baltasar Garzon said the six helped recruit people, raise money and provide logistical support for a group called al-Qaida in Islamic Maghreb. The six were charged with membership in a terrorist group.

Garzon said one of the six, Abdelghani Himmouri, had two timers ready to be used in bombs.

The judge also issued international arrest orders for four others. Three other Algerians detained in police raids Tuesday have been released.

Garzon said the group had made more than 150 payments between 2005 and 2008, most to Ghassan Ibrahim Abd Al-Maqsud Muhamad, an Egyptian based in Syria who, according to the magistrate, organized training camps for Islamic extremists and the deployment of fighters in Iraq.

He gave no details of how much money was sent.

The nine men were arrested in the provinces of Barcelona, Navarra in the north and Castellon in the east on orders from the National Court, the Madrid-based tribunal that handles Spain’s terrorism cases.

Police seized $11,000 in cash, records of money transfers to Algeria, bank passbooks, CDs, videos and documentation from the suspects’ homes.

Dozens of suspected radical Islamic militants have been arrested in Spain since the Sept. 11 attacks, and again after the commuter train bombings in 2004 in Madrid.
