MADRID (Reuters) - A suspected al Qaeda leader, accused of being involved in September 11 and planning the 2004 Madrid train bombings, has been imprisoned in a secret U.S. jail for the past year, Spain's El Pais newspaper reported on Sunday.

Mustafa Setmarian, 48, a Syrian with Spanish citizenship, was captured in Pakistan in October 2005 and is held in a prison operated by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Pakistani and European security service officials told El Pais.

Setmarian's 2005 capture was reported in May of this year after the United States put a $5 million bounty on the head of the alleged founder of al Qaeda's Spanish network.

Setmarian is married to Elena Moreno, a Spanish woman who says he is held in a secret CIA jail.

2. How does that help the repukes?

The killings in Iraq have been increasing, the situation in Iraq has deteriorated. We went to war with Iraq because of 9/11. Then again nothing makes sense in this administration so they may find a way to twist this into something positive.
