al-Qaida suspect made videos of Twin Towers

Spanish police arrested three suspected members of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network yesterday, one of whom had videotaped key buildings in the US, Interior Minister Angel Acebes said.

One of the men, who are of Syrian origin, had video tapes from an apparent tourist trip to the US, during which he had recorded footage of installations and monuments, Mr Acebes said.

Two tapes showed mostly images of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York from all angles and distances.
