WASHINGTON  — FBI agents arrested a Portland, Ore., man Thursday as part of the investigation into the deadly train bombings in Spain, federal officials said.

Brandon Bieri Mayfield, a U.S. citizen, was taken into custody on a material witness warrant, said a senior law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The arrest, first reported in Newsweek, is the first known in the United States with connections to the March 11 bombings in Madrid.

The FBI also searched his home, which he shares with his wife, the official said.

Local news (katu) just said the FBI are being "tight-lipped" as more arrests might be coming.

[JimSEA]

Yes, his client list and that of any possible law partners should be instructive.

[cyncooper]

Thanks for the picture.

[Grampa Dave]

You and I knew this would happen sooner or later in the "City of Peace".

Please feel us in re what you have heard about this.

Tacoma is about 100 - 120 miles from Portland.

I live within a couple of miles of Lake Ontario. All the residents along the lakeshore were notified via Homeland Security to report anything unusual. I thought it was a good idea because the homeowners would know better than anyone what is "unusual".

[VOA]

Does Portland have a light Rail system?

Wonder if they were going to try a Spain type attack here.

If so, it would just be a repeat of Madrid in that...
they'd be bombing some of their most ardent supporters/accomadators/appeasers!

Guess we ought to throw this on the Jihad list; and ping Jonathan

I will be off line for a while. My wife's car got whacked in a parking lot, and we are now a one car family.

So to keep peace in the family, I'm out of here for awhile.

Please keep this thread going.

nice city you are from.
we are not getting enough scrutiny here.

you can take it or leave it.
I gather you will leave it.. for now.
And I leave it at that.

Don't you remember that Vera Katz issued an order to the chief of police in Portland, that he was not to cooperate with the FBI or INS?

[cyncooper]

Speaking of sniper case.....We were on an outing way on the other side of Tucson a few months back and drove by a golfcourse I wasn't familiar with, but the name was ringing a bell. I suddenly broke out in chills and told my husband "That's the golf course where that Lee Malvo shot that golfer!"

Creepy

Yes. Why do you ask?

That does not contradict my point.

[Robert_Paulson2]

takes me about 2 hours to get to tacoma.
nice drive.

Islam has a strong foothold in the Northwest.
It is easy for them to get in and out of porland.

Portland oregon is an international seaport.
It should be watched much closer.
