All plausible scenarios. I just hope it makes the Spaniards "go medieval" on the Islmofascisti.

I owe Dennisw something of an apology on this one.

The spaniards still say it was probably ETA (possibly because there are political issues for the ruling party).

However, there's increasing speculation that ETA may not have been solely responsible for this: which raises a very chilling prospect :-(

No problem. It was so viciously deadly, with simultaneous explosions, I couldn't see how ETA did it... alone at least. Could be rogue ETA with Al Qaeda

Now they have their own terrible day to remember, 311, that will, like 911 to us, be their rally call for exterminating the likes of these people.

Thanks for the ping Jeff.................couldn't agree more.
