FBI believes al-Qaeda supporters boomed Madrid
FBI Director Robert Mueller said Tuesday that he believes radical Islamic fundamentalists supportive of al-Qaida and influenced by Osama bin Laden were responsible for the deadly train bombings in Madrid.Mueller said the bombers likely acted without approval or direction from al-Qaida leaders. He suggested a looser, independent network of like-minded acolytes, rather than trained foot soldiers of al-Qaida, was to blame. "The evidence tends to point to individuals who are supportive of Islamic fundamentalism ... and supporters of al-Qaida's mission," Mueller told a U.S. Senate Appropriations subcommittee.
