Spain has issued a worldwide request through Interpol for the arrest of Moroccan Abdelkarim el
Mejjati in connection with the Madrid bombings, sources close to the investigation said today.
Mejjati, 36, is also wanted by Moroccan and Saudi authorities in connection with bombings in Casablanca and Riyadh last year. Last September the FBI issued a worldwide alert for him and three other suspects, linking them to al Qaeda and saying it had intelligence they might be planning attacks
against the United States.
