Spanish want to quiz al-Suri |
2005-11-07 |
MADRID: Spanish judicial authorities want to question a wanted Syrian militant, thought captured in a shootout with Pakistani security forces, over the September 11 attacks in the United States, judicial sources said on Thursday. Pakistani ministers said an Arab Al Qaeda suspect was killed and another was seized in a shootout in Quetta, while playing down reports that Syrian-born Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, who has dual Syrian-Spanish nationality, was one of the two. According to the Spanish sources the high court will press for 47-year-old Nasarâs extradition if he turns out to have been the âforeignerâ captured in Quetta. The Spanish sources added that there were no âobjective elementsâ linking Nasar to the March 11, 2004, train bombings in Madrid - which the media refer to as Spainâs own 9/11 - although some newspapers have tagged him as involved. |
