Acebes, speaking at a news conference on Saturday, said the five suspects were all arrested around Madrid. A spokesman for the Moroccan government identified the three Moroccans as as Jamal Zougam, 30; Mohamed Bekkali, 31, a mechanic; and Mohamed Chaoui, 34. All three are from northern Morocco, but the government gave no further details about them. "One might have connections with Moroccan extremist groups. But it is still very early to establish to what degree," Acebes said. He did not name any group. Asked whether the Basque separatist group ETA is still considered a suspect, Acebes said: "We must not rule anything out."
