Mustafá Zanibar, a 41-year-old Moroccan prisoner who was sentenced to 29 years in prison for murder in April 1994 and was accused in 2004 of belonging to a cell that was planning the bombing of the Audiencia Nacional (a special court with exclusive competence for trying terrorist offences) in Madrid, was found hanged with his belt in an isolation cell at Zuera prison (Zaragoza) on 24 February 2005. In March 2004, prison officers in A’Lama prison in Pontevedra (Galicia) had reported that Zanibar had invited other prisoners to tea and coffee on 14 March to celebrate the 11 March bombings in Madrid. Nine prisoners died of unnatural causes in Zuera prison in 2004.
