Oregon attorney held in connection with Madrid bombings

From CNN

A lawyer in Portland, Oregon, has been taken into custody by the FBI in connection with the March 11 terror attacks in Madrid, law enforcement sources told CNN.

Attorney Brandon Mayfield's detention on Thursday was based on information from Spanish authorities that the lawyer -- who the sources said had converted to Islam -- may have been involved in the train bombings that killed 190 people.


[...]

Mayfield represented one of the chief defendants in the so-called "Portland Seven" terror case in a custody battle.

Six members of the alleged Portland terror cell pleaded guilty in October of plotting to fight with the Taliban against the United States in Afghanistan.


Too early to tell what this is all about but if it is true this is real bad.
