Sixth man arrested for Madrid bombing
From correspondents in Madrid

Article from: Reuters


SPANISH police have arrested a man on suspicion that he supplied money to a suspect in the Madrid train bombings, the Interior Ministry said today, a day after police arrested 5 people for links to the 2004 attack.

Police arrested Taha Seghrouchni in a town in Catalonia on suspicion of transferring significant amounts of money into the account of Daoud Ouhnane, one of the suspects believed to have fled Spain after the bombs, which killed 191 people.

Mr Seghrouchni is also suspected of having been in telephone contact with Ouhnane before the bombings, the Ministry said.

It did not give the nationality of the man.

Police arrested five people on Wednesday who could have helped two suspects escape after the train bombings.

A Spanish court is due to start in February the trial of 29 people for their part in the train bombings, most of them Spaniards and Moroccans.

"220 Pounds of Explosives Found in Spain"

By DANIEL WOOLLS Thursday, January 04, 2007


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MADRID, Spain - Police in the Basque region said Thursday they had found a bomb in northern Spain, five days after a car bombing in Madrid that was blamed on the separatist group ETA and killed one person.

Nearly 220 pounds of explosives were found in a drum near an abandoned car outside the Basque town of Amorebieta, and they were rigged to be used in an attack, a spokesman for the Basque police said.

On Dec. 23 police found an arms cache near Amorebieta with around 120 pounds of explosives.

The Basque interior department said the explosives found Thursday were ready for "immediate" use and only lacked a detonator.

Police searching the area noticed the car had been parked for several days, and upon examining it found suspicious stains inside. They expanded their search and found the drum with the explosives, the department said.

Meanwhile, the prime minister toured the bombed wreckage of Madrid's airport parking garage Thursday and warned the Basque separatist group ETA that neither the Spanish government nor its citizens will be intimidated."

Hmmm, is this the same or another batch of explosives? Listed as a different town.
