Madrid bomb suspect has sketch of New York station

A suspect in the Madrid train bombings was found to possess a sketch and technical details about Grand Central Station in New York, it was reported today.

The sketch and data were on a computer disk seized about two weeks after the that killed 191 people last March, the Spanish newspaper El Mundo said.

Police handed the disk over to the FBI and CIA in December once they understood the scope of the technical data, the report said.

A US Embassy official confirmed that US law enforcement authorities received information related to Grand Central Station.

The sketch was found in the home of Mouhannad Almallah, a Syrian who was arrested in Madrid on March 24 but later released, although he is still considered a suspect.
