Madrid detains three al-Qaida suspects linked to 1997 U S footage
Three al-Qaida suspects were arrested in Spain including Ghalyoun who filmed American landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge and the Twin Towers during a 1997 trip. Authorities say the footage went beyond tourism and ties to al-Qaida logistics and Atta networks. The group faces links to the 11 September plots and prior Arabic network activity in Spain.
