Suspect arrested over Madrid bombs
Last updated at 14:03 07 April 2004
A Spanish judge has today questioned two suspects over the Madrid train bombings, as it emerged that police in Madrid have arrested another man over the attacks on March 11.
A court official said both those questioned in court were Moroccan men arrested recently, one of them on Saturday in Spain's north African territory of Ceuta.
It has also emerged that forensics experts believe a seventh militant died in the explosion which destroyed a block of flats in the Madrid suburb of Leganes on Saturday.
Police are continuing to hunt for other Islamist militants thought to have escaped the police raid. One police officer was killed in the swoop.
Spanish newspapers said police are searching for an apartment where between one and three militants who escaped from the Leganes flat before it was surrounded could be hiding.
The government says most of the suspects in the March 11 bombings, which killed 191 people, have either been arrested or killed themselves in the raid. But a prosecutor has asked a judge to issue new arrest warrants, news reports said.
