A Spanish court has released an Arab television journalist, who was accused of having links to the terrorist group al-Qaeda, on bail. The decision to issue the bail was made after Taysir Alouni's defense lawyers stated in court on Thursday that their client suffers from heart problems. Spanish police arrested Alouni last month based on an indictment that named Osama bin Laden and dozens of other suspects in connection with the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. Alouni was accused of paying over $4,000 to al-Qaeda members in the mid-1990s. He, a Syrian who works for Al Jazeera, claims that he provided the money to help the Arab community and did not intend to support terrorists.
