Good for you, Remember this story?

PORTLAND, Ore. (CNN) -- An Oregon lawyer wrongly arrested for being involved with the 2004 Madrid train bombings has settled a lawsuit against the U.S. government for $2 million, according to his attorneys.

Brandon Mayfield was arrested in Portland on a material witness warrant in May 2004, less than two months after the train bombings.

According to the FBI, his fingerprint was identified as being on a blue plastic bag containing detonators found in a van used by the bombers.

However, the FBI's fingerprint identification was wrong and Mayfield was released several days later. --From CNN Senior Producer Henry Schuster in Atlanta (Posted 1:13 p.m.)
