| Bulgaria investigated for possible 3/11 suspect |
| 2004-05-12 |
| Bulgarian investigators have detained and then released a suspect in connection with the March Madrid bombings that killed nearly 200 people, the country's top investigator said said on Wednesday. "We detained a person in connection with the attacks in Madrid, and this person has been released. The person was not directly engaged in the attacks," Angel Alexandrov, head of Bulgaria's National Investigation Office, told Reuters. Alexandrov said his office had detained the suspect to investigate possible links with the attackers, who detonated bombs on four packed commuter trains in Madrid, killing 191 people and injuring 1,900. He said the suspect had spent time in Spain, but he refused to give any further information, including gender, nationality, or when the suspect had been brought in. |
