Spanish police detain Turkey's terror suspect in Madrid - officials

Remzi Kartal, a former lawmaker from the disbanded Democracy Party (DEP), was detained Monday in a shopping mall in Madrid, Spanish authorities said.

Diplomatic sources said the Turkish Embassy in Madrid would make an official request for Kartal's extradition to Turkey as soon as official paperwork arrives in the hands of the embassy.

Kartal has been sought internationally since 2006 and he was earlier detained in 2005 by the German police under a red warrant. He was later released.
