Thai police 'hold 2 on passports'
(CNN) -- Police in Thailand have charged a Dutchman and a Spaniard with passport forgery, according to a Thai media report.
Authorities said they seized 110 fake passports -- 40 Belgian, 30 French and 40 Portuguese -- on Wednesday from the men, aged 45 and 33, local media said.
Investigators from the United States, Britain, Australia and Spain are in Thailand and have asked Thai authorities to question the pair about last year's Madrid train bombings and al-Qaeda, The Bangkok Post reported.
Police said they arrested the men as they were about to hand over the fake passports to police posing as buyers, the newspaper said.
The two reportedly are denying the charges.
The European Union previously has accused Thailand of being a hub for the forgery of official documents, but Thai authorities have countered by saying the trade was controlled by outsiders.
