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.

If his prints were on that bag, this expands the definition of an activist left wing lawyer.

".....visitors from overseas......"

No doubt! If this guy is in as deep as to be a co-conspirator in the Madrid bombings then he may also be running a 'safe-house'. Hopefully, they've got enough surveillance done to grab some others.

If the address for anything is Canyon ROAD, it most likely is commercial property. That 8835 SW Canyon Ln address I believe is an apartment house, although it's been a few months since I drove that street. Appears to be maybe 100 yds off Canyon Rd. Will try to check it out tomorrow.

The report on TV at the bottom-of-the-hour said his fingerprints were found on one of the bags used in the Madrid bombing to carry materials by the perps.

Which makes me wonder if the connection was more than just Islam. What exactly are Mr. Mayfield's political views, what political groups does he belong to? Democrat or Socialist, perhaps?

"If he was clumsy enough to leave his prints, I'm really praying he was clumsy enough to leave a wide trail of evidence (like of his contacts) here in the states."

Me too. Maybe leads to other cells here.

Actually it is the Oregon 7, 6 guys and a gal.

When Ernest flagged me about this story. My first thought was the Oregon 7 and a possible connection.

Then it turns out he was some how connected with them in a "legal" manner. In otherwords, Oregon tax payers probably paid him to plan more terrorism while he consulted with them. Shermy found that little bit of info within minutes.

Absolutely.

Remember all of the pro Islamo moles on Free Republic condemning John Ashcroft for wanting to investigate these criminals after 9/11 in the Portland area.

We are in a war for our survival, and the lunatic lefties and pseudo conservatives are carrying water for the islamos.

One of my best friends is a cop in my city of Beaverton. One time he called in a plate and the next thing he knew he was talking to an FBI agent. They told my friend to only follow at a distance, report his actions, but do not pull him over. I wonder if it was the same IslamoNazi?

Does Portland have a light Rail system?

Portland also has one of the deepest light rail tunnels in the nation, below a very busy public Zoo. But, I submit that local attacks are extremely unlikely, imo. People here may hate America, and they certainly despise Capitalism, but they love their city.

He probably got recruited by some of his NOI/al Fuqra clients, and then he became a recruiter and sounds like more.

This is a big story. I hope the media stays with it.
