| Madrid suspect ’held in Italy’ |
| 2004-06-08 |
| A man suspected of involvement in the Madrid train bombings has been detained in Italy, an Italian newspaper says. Corriere della Sera said the man was known as Mohammed the Egyptian, and was held after a three-month inquiry. There was no immediate police confirmation. Unconfirmed reports also spoke of other arrests elsewhere in Europe. The Spanish government has previously said all the key figures involved in planning and carrying out the 11 March attacks are dead or in custody. |

| #2 I must admit I am impressed with how the Spanish have rolled up the network. I think they got lucky in the begining - chip off a mobile phone casing used in one of the bombs found on the floor of a shop that was run by a gang member. Got the phone because they did'nt realize the bag it was in was a bomb and hence didn't blow it up in a controlled explosion, but good work since then. |
