MADRID, SPAIN -- An accused Islamic militant who said he is simply a martial-arts and physical-education instructor burst into tears yesterday as he denied belonging to a terrorist cell that allegedly helped plot the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Abdulla Khayata Katan, 29, also said Spain's top counter-terrorism judge browbeat him into making false statements.
Katan said guards at a Jordanian jail humiliated and abused him during a three-day interrogation in February 2004.
Judge Baltasar Garzon, an investigative magistrate, then put pressure on him to falsely incriminate the accused terror cell leader, Imad Yarkas, and others, Katan said.
"I am completely innocent," he said. "I have nothing to do with what they accuse me of."
