A Spanish judge has formally accused 11 more people over the Madrid train bombings, including Moroccan-born Driss Chebli who is on trial on charges of helping the Sept. 11 hijackers, DPA quoted a court official as saying on Thursday. The step brings to 101 the number of people accused of a role in the bombings of Madrid commuter trains by radical Islamists that killed 191 people on March 11 last year. Spain's High Court released the names of nine people who Judge Juan del Olmo has formally accused in connection with the attacks. The court official said two further people had been accused, but their names were not disclosed. The court did not reveal the charges against the 11. Chebli is one of 24 people currently on trial in Madrid in Europe's biggest trial of suspected Islamist militants. He is accused of 2,500 terrorist murders in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks on U.S. cities in 2001. Chebli and fellow defendant Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, the suspected leader of al Qaeda in Spain, are accused of helping members of the al Qaeda cell that carried out the U.S. attacks. --More 2309 Local Time 2009 GMT
