UH-OH:
Mohamed Ouazzani, one of those arrested in connection with the Madrid train bombs, has retracted an earlier statement in which he linked the attacks to Spain's presence in Iraq. He told judge Del Olmo that several Spanish police and a Moroccan had beaten and threatened him in December 2004, to tell judge Baltasar Garzon that the bombs were linked to Iraq.
The information was revealed by Madrid's El Mundo; more information in Spanish on their website here (only a fraction is free to read, but full article re-published here)
