Police have arrested seven more suspects in the Madrid bombings, court officials said today.

Mr Fouad Almorabit, a Moroccan who was re-arrested last Thursday for a third time as new evidence was found, was taken for questioning by investigative magistrate Mr Juan del Olmo.

Seventeen people, 13 of them Moroccan, have been charged in connection with the bombings.

Investigators believe that the core members of the cell are either behind bars or were killed when seven terrorist suspects blew themselves up April 3rd as police prepared to storm their apartment in southern Madrid. However, at least six more suspects are still being sought.
