Spain Arrests 3 Suspects for Madrid Train Bombings MADRID, May 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Spanish police have arrested three Moroccan men suspected of providing weapons to those who carried out the 2004 Madrid train bombings that killed 192 people, police said Tuesday.
Two suspects were arrested in Madrid and one in Granada on Monday, police said in a statement.
So far about 90 people, most of them Moroccan, have been arrested during the probe into the attacks on March 11, 2004, which also injured more than 1,500.
The three men are suspected of belonging to a group linked to the terrorist network al-Qaeda, police said.
Pakistan arrests Egyptian Al-Qaeda suspect Tuesday, 24 May , 2005, 15:08
Pakistan: Pakistani authorities have arrested an Egyptian suspected of having links with Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda terror network, a security official said on Tuesday.
The suspect was arrested late Monday night in a raid on a house in Charsadda district, 50 kilometers northeast of Peshawar, close to the Afghan border, the official told AFP.
"Two female undercover agents posing as village women visited the home and then intelligence agents conducted the raid," the security official said, requesting anonymity.
"He is an old Arab claiming to be Egyptian and married to a local ethnic Pashtun girl."
During the raid, security officials also picked up a local resident, he added.
Pakistan, a key ally in the US-led war on terror, has so far rounded up around 700 Al-Qaeda suspects, including alleged top operatives, while its army troops remain in the country's lawless tribal border belt to hunting down militants.
Most of the suspects have been handed over to US custody.
Last month Pakistan captured several Al-Qaeda suspects, including Abu Faraj al-Libbi, allegedly a key aide of bin Laden's.
Al-Libbi, a Libyan national, is the alleged mastermind of two attempts on President Pervez Musharraf's life in December 2003, and is also believed to have been involved in a bid to assassinate Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz before he assumed office last year.
