Barcelona plot fuels U.S. security concerns

January 25, 2008

“The arrest of 14 people in Spain in a suspected Islamist bomb plot has fueled concerns over U.S. security as Bush administration officials are turning their attention to potential election-year threats, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said on Friday.

He said he could not discuss whether there was any U.S. connection in the suspected Barcelona plot, in which police raids last week uncovered explosives and other equipment.” (Reuters)
