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.

I didn't realize that we had to excerpt Fox News. This was an auto excerpt, which is why there are no paragraphs.

Please post your great picture of the welcome extended to Islamoterrorist by the fascist mayor of Portland, Oregon.

I put up the AP wire also.

Does Portland have a light Rail system?

Wonder if they were going to try a Spain type attack here.

Now Los Angeles has a light rail and Subways also.

Who knows!

Right after 9/11, when the kindness and love that the mayor of Portland showed the Islamofascists had many of us predicting that Portland would be the safest place in America for Islamofascist/kazis.

These liberal mayors, city council members, DAs and police chiefs have created safe havens for Islamofascists in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and other left wing controlled cities.

Isikoff at Newsweek got the leak:

"...The man was identified as Brandon Mayfield, a convert to Islam who is tangentially linked to one of the chief defendants in the so-called “Portland Seven” case—a suspected terror cell in Oregon whose six surviving members pled guilty last year of plotting to fight for the Taliban against U.S. soldiers during the war in Afghanistan.

Sources said that Mayfield had been under round-the-clock surveillance by the FBI for some time. According to law-enforcement sources, he was picked up by agents in Portland today and is being held as a “material witness” in a Grand Jury investigation—a status that allows the Justice Department to hold him in secret without formally filing charges against him...."

Why, they in fact do. Rode on it last summer. I haven't ridden on a lot of LR systems, but this one seemed to be fairly extensive, i.e. you could get around the city fairly well and it was extensively used by the population.

Why, yes, we do! Quite a few routes and quite a few riders. New one just opened over the weekend. That aside - Why Portland?! First our "Portland seven", now this! How many other terrorists are walking our streets - this is rediculous.

No, he was from Tacoma.

To an earlier post, yes, Portland does have a light-rail system, the "Max." Mostly just an West/East line from our western burbs through the city center and then out east, and then a N-S line up to the airport. A new line has been added up in North Portland, which is in bad need of redevelopment.
