Madrid bombing suspect tied to Sept 11 prisoner courts documents say
Madrid police link Jamal Zougam to Imad Yarkas, a suspected al Qaida leader jailed for allegedly aiding the 9/11 attacks. Indictment names Yarkas and 34 others, while Zougam is not charged. Officials report Moroccans tied to Yarkas amid the Madrid train bombings that killed 200 and wounded 1,500, as investigators probe al Qaida involvement and a taped claim of responsibility from Abu Dujan al Afghani.
