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.

you make some good points. did he travel to Madrid? did the FBI know that he went there, did they inform Spanish intelligence? that could be a dicey issue.
To: blam
Fingerprints on a bag in Madrid almost doesn't make sense, but it is a good cover.

I'm betting that this story will be the biggest one since we captured Saddam.
We're into "immigration" and that means association with our "government" which might infer Muslim infiltrators in our immigration department. Follow the money.
This story has me very "up" that we'll get some "big" US Muslim fishes.

Yes, the "D.C." area sniper from a couple of years ago (or so) was from Tacoma. The kid in the sniper team (forget his name) went to school briefly in Bellingham which is north of Seattle; not too far from the Canadian border.

It just seems unlikely and might have been misinformation given to Isikioff.

They must have a squeeler amongst their captures. I can't see them searching a fingerprint data-base that carries the attorney's prints otherwise.

I was wondering what this guys educational background is, too. I was thinking maybe Evergreen State in WA, where Rachel Corrie went to school.

Fair enough.
But why the arrest now? What piece of information linked back to this man? if the FBI is monitoring him, that must include his communications, especially international. He could have been using web based methods of communications.
Perhaps his name was found on a computer or some notes from those arrested in Spain.

"It just seems unlikely and might have been misinformation given to Isikioff." Are you thinking they have more? And, if so, care to speculate?
