Spain releases Indian held for 145;terror plot146;

The second person, Sarosh Ali Mohammed, was released yesterday with the Spanish authorities in Madrid saying he hails from Hyderabad. It was not clear whether it is the city in India or Pakistan. Initially, it was believed that two purported Indians were among those who were detained.

After a lot of dilly-dallying, the Spanish authorities had provided the passport number of Khan and his antecedents were checked from Mumbai and there was nothing found against him.

He had gone to Spain in September last year after he was sponsored by one of his relative, who has been staying in that country for several years now. The Indian authorities gave him a clean chit and said security agencies had nothing suspicious about him and that there were no doubts about his background.
