SPAIN: The investigation into the Madrid train bombings led to Germany and Morocco yesterday, as police arrested one more suspect in Madrid and hunted for the mastermind of Europe's deadliest bomb attack in 15 years.
In Germany, police searched the apartment of a Moroccan who is one of those under arrest in Spain.
In Rabat, the government said authorities had questioned Moroccans in connection with the bombings but denied a report that a man had been arrested with maps of the targeted stations.
Spanish investigators have called on foreign police to help hunt for those involved in the bombings, believed to be al-Qaeda's first major attack in the West since the September 11th, 2001.
"It was very clear right from the beginning that the Madrid attacks had relations to Germany, to France, and to Britain at least," a senior European intelligence official said.
The German angle is potentially significant because investigators believe the September 11th attacks were planned in Germany and Spain.
