13 people have been arrested by police for last year's train bombings in Madrid, Spain which took the lives of 191 people.
The suspected Al Qaeda leader who allegedly inspired the attacks was extradited from Belgium.
According to a Chicago Tribune article,
"Youssef Belhadj, a 28-year-old Moroccan who was arrested in Belgium shortly after the bombings, was jailed in Spain on 191 counts of murder, a court official said.
The Interior Ministry said six Moroccans, four Syrians, one Egyptian, one Palestinian and one Algerian were arrested in raids in and around Madrid.
Four of the Moroccans are brothers linked to Belhadj, the suspect in whose name the attacks were claimed."
Belhadj was in Madrid a few days before the bombings according to documents filed in court.
