Spaniard Released in Madrid Bombings Probe
A judge released a Spaniard Monday accused of helping transport the dynamite used in the March commuter train bombings, court officials said. Antonio Ivan Reiss, 21, was charged with collaborating with an armed group. He was arrested Thursday in Spain's Canary Islands. At Monday's hearing, Reiss acknowledged carrying a bag in a bus to Madrid to deliver it to suspects who attacked the train. But Reiss told Judge Juan del Olmo that he thought the bag contained hashish, not the dynamite authorities believe was in the satchel, officials said. The judge did not give an explanation for his order, but throughout the investigation he has released suspects from jail, saying that their apparant role in the attacks was not serious enough to keep them in custody. Reiss was the latest suspect detained in connection with the bombings of four commuter trains during morning rush hour, an attach that killed 190 passengers and bystanders and wounded more than 2,000.Posted by: Fred 2004-06-29 |
