<b>I’m humbled, infidels. I hang my head in shame at this news</b>. Spanish police arrest 5 in train bombing
Quote:MADRID, Spain - Police have arrested five men who could have aided the escape of two fugitives of the 2004 Madrid train bombings, Spain's interior minister said Wednesday.
Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said each of the five, who are also suspected of ties with international terrorism, was detained in a different Spanish city — Barcelona, Tarragona, Gerona, Cadiz and A Coruna.
The full news report identifies those arrested as Sven Nordsen, Bob Smith, Paddy O’Brien, Gianni Fiorini and a minor, who because of his age is identified only as… John Doe.
They’re charged with being part of a fundamentalist Lutheran group that has as its objective, the Lutheran’ization of the entirety of the globe.
Oh… sorry… I was momentarily transported through a tear in the space – time continuum. OK back to reality…
Quote:The five, identified as Zohaib Khadiri, Djilali Boussiri, Nasreddine Ben Laid Amri, Samir Tahtah and Kamal Ahbar, may have collaborated in the escape of two fugitives of the Madrid bombings, Moroccans Mohamed Belhadj and Mohamed Afalah, Rubalcaba said.
"This operation has led to arrest of five men suspected of links with the March 11 bombings" Rubalcaba said.
He added that the operation had been ordered by National Court Judge Juan del Olmo, who is probing the blasts aboard four commuter trains that killed 191 people and injured more than 1,500. The bombings were blamed on a group of mostly North African Muslim extremists.
