Five Madrid bomb suspects died in suicide blast

At least five prime suspects in the Madrid bombings were among the seven alleged terrorists who blew themselves up as police moved to arrest them earlier this month, officials said today.

Up to now, only four of the seven killed in the April 3 suicide blast had been identified. But forensic tests show two other suspects – Mohammed Oulad Akcha and his brother Rachid Oulad Akcha – were also killed.
