Thirty people have gone on trial accused of plotting to blow up Spain's main anti-terror court with a bomb that could have killed 1,000 people.

The men, mostly Algerians, have been charged with membership of a terrorist organisation, conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack and forgery.

Mastermind Abderrahmane Tahiri planned to ram a truck loaded with half a tonne of explosives into the National Court in central Madrid.
