MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Spanish police have arrested a Saudi citizen, an Egyptian and a Moroccan in connection with the March 11 rail bombings, but six others were released after questioning, a court official said Friday.

The three were arrested Thursday in Madrid, the official said. They were being held in solitary confinement at a police headquarters on Madrid's outskirts pending charges and would probably be brought before the National Court in the next few days.
