SPAIN: Moroccan investigators say they have identified a
scion of a wealthy Casablanca family with close ties to
the senior Al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as the
architect of the Madrid bombings, according to Reuters.
DNA samples from other family members have been sent to
Spain from Morocco to help track down the man who is now
expected to become the subject of a Europe-wide hunt. The
36-year-old, who is married to an American , is believed to
have activated terrorist cells in Spain last year after he
fled across the Strait of Gibraltar following the
Casablanca bombings. He is said to have maintained links
to Morocco's Salafist Jihad, the terrorist group blamed for
the Casablanca bombings, but has established his own
network of cells called Hassam, meaning "the final
solution".
It has been learnt that Hamid Langiri, the head of the
Moroccan Security Directorate, believes that the suspect -
who cannot be named for legal reasons - is on the run in
Europe. "He is from the upper tier of the merchant class,"
said Mohamed Dafir, an adviser to the directorate.
"Langiri has intelligence that he was in Madrid before the
bombing."
Seven Moroccans, including Jamal Zougam, the suspected cell
leader, have been arrested in Spain following the bomb
attacks on Madrid's suburban rail network 11 days ago that
killed 202 people and injured about 1500. Zarqawi, a
Jordanian suspected of orchestrating attacks on coalition
troops in Iraq, is now thought to have been the ultimate
mastermind of both the Casablanca and Madrid bombings.
