| Spanish police have arrested six people in northern Spain in connection with the sale of explosives used in March 11 train bombings in Madrid, an Interior Ministry spokesman says. The spokesman said police wiretaps had shown several of the six had spoken on the telephone in January and February with several of the Moroccan Islamist militants suspected of a role in the attacks that killed 191 people and injured 1,900. Two of those held on Wednesday are the wife and brother-in-law of former miner Jose Emilio Suarez Trashorras, who until the six arrests was the only Spanish-born suspect still in custody on suspicion of a role in the attacks. The judge in charge of the investigation has formally accused Suarez of 190 murders. His brother-in-law, Antonio Toro Castro, had already been detained and then released in the probe. The other four were also Spanish nationals. One of them was a former miner named Javier Gonzalez Diaz and known as "The Dynamiter," the Interior Ministry spokesman said. |
