Strange why a Pakistani living in Spain gets worked up enough about Jews to participate in a terrorist attack targetting their place of worship in Tunisia .
The world is getting smaller, but I do not think this is what the civilised had intended as a consequence of that fact :

MADRID, May 10 (Reuters) - A Spanish court sentenced two men to a total of 10 years in prison on Wednesday for their part in a suicide bombing in Tunisia in 2002 which killed 21 people, 14 of them German tourists.
The court sentenced Ahmed Rukhsar, a 41-year-old Pakistani living in Spain, and Enrique Cerda Ibanez, a 43-year-old Spaniard, to five years each for collaboration with a terrorist organisation.
A member of the Islamic Army for the Liberation of Holy Places, a radical group linked to al Qaeda, drove a tanker truck filled with cooking gas to a synagogue before detonating the truck, court documents said.
The blast on the Tunisian island of Djerba destroyed North Africa's oldest synagogue and also killed five Tunisians and two Frenchmen.
