Spanish Prime Minister Meets With Leaders
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero paid his first visit abroad, traveling to neighboring Morocco to put a symbolic stamp on a new era of relations, with stronger cooperation against terrorism.
Spain has arrested 15 Moroccans on suspicion of taking part in the commuter train bombings that killed 191 people in Madrid on March 11.
Zapatero did not announce any concrete agreement after talks with King Mohammed VI and Prime Minister Driss Jettou, which Spanish government sources said also covered illegal immigration from the North African country.
