| 3/11 suspect extradicted to Spain |
| 2005-09-26 |
| A key suspect in the Madrid train bombings was yesterday extradited to Spain from Serbia. Abdelmajid Bouchar, 22, a Moroccan, arrived at Getafe air base, near Madrid, guarded by four Interpol agents. He escaped from a flat in Madrid three weeks after the bombings as police closed in on a group of prime suspects. Bouchar, a competitive distance runner, was taking out the rubbish when he noticed the police, shouted a warning to the others and fled, according to an anti-terrorism judge. When police surrounded the suburban flat, seven suspects inside blew themselves up with a batch of the stolen dynamite used in the bombings, investigators said. The blast also killed a police special agent. |
