Federal investigators are examining whether a Washington County lawyer shipped materials later used by terrorists to blow up four commuter trains in Madrid on March 11, a law enforcement official said Friday. Brandon Mayfield, 37, a former U.S. Army officer and Aloha father of three, was linked to the attack that killed 191 people by a fingerprint on a bag containing detonating devices. The bag was discovered by Spanish investigators inside a van that was near the train station where three of the trains originated, officials said.

Do you read "detonating devices" as blasting caps? They are certainly light and easy to ship.

I was trying to figure out why someone suspected of a crime in another country would be arrested in USA. I guess because of the nature of the crime, if he is guilty, and our upcoming elections in Nov.? They were afraid he would try the same thing here? I thought if you committed a crime in another country, you were home scott free. I guess the new global cooperation in the Western countries, is the reason for this? I remember that man who fled to France, after killing his girlfriend, and he stayed there for decades. I guess it all depends on the crime, how serious it is, and if you are a threat to the country where you are??????

Check THIS out, especially the contrast between what is revealed in this article compared to what FReepers know about our dear Mr. Mayfield.

I have independently confirmed some of this stuff. This is by no means simply about a fingerprint.
