Madrid bombs target Spain by Madrid cell tied to al Qaida
The AP reports a homegrown network of mostly Moroccan immigrants carried out the March 11 Madrid train bombings that killed 191 and wounded 1,800. Suspects including Jamal Zougam Fakher and Jamal Ahmidam Mowgli plotted in Madrid with minimal funding, using detonators from a taxi and cell phone links. Police monitored Islamic extremists for a decade, but a seized car and a highway stop a week earlier might have changed history.
