Switzerland extradited to Spain on Friday the suspected leader of a Muslim cell that Spanish officials say planned to blow up Spain's High Court with a truck bomb. Moroccan-born Mohamed Achraf was flown from Zurich to Madrid escorted by three Spanish police officers, the Swiss federal office of justice in Berne said in a statement. Switzerland's highest court rejected Achraf's appeal against extradition earlier this month. In Madrid, Achraf appeared before High Court Judge Fernando Grande-Marlaska who ordered him jailed on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist organisation, faking documents and attempted murder in connection with the plot to bomb the court, Europa Press news agency reported. He refused to reply to the prosecutor's questions, it said. Court officials could not immediately be reached for comment. --More 2338 Local Time 2038 GMT
