The FBI arrests an Oregon lawyer, Brandon Mayfield, with ties to Madrid’s 3/11
To briefly review Mayfield’s situation, on May 6, FBI agents detained the 37-year-old lawyer on a material witness warrant, after searching his home in Aloha, Oregon (a suburb of Portland) and his office in nearby Beaverton. Law enforcement officials later claimed that Spanish authorities had discovered Mayfield’s “fingerprints” on a plastic bag found in connection with the Madrid bombing, which killed 191 people and injured over 2,000. Mayfield’s name immediately raised eyebrows: an ex-serviceman and Muslim convert who embraced Islam in 1989, he represented Jeffrey Leon Battle in an unsuccessful child custody case in 2002. Last fall, a federal judge in Portland sentenced Battle to 18 years in prison for attempting to travel to Afghanistan and join the Taliban in fighting America.
