The Spanish discovered some unexploded bombs which they were able to examine. If they say the bombs are constructed the way ETA makes them, which they apparently have stated, then you should take them at their word.
The Spanish are not idiots. They know ETA better than you do, and they have quite a few in custody.
They also know that aligning themselves with America in the War on Terror made them potential targets of al-Qaida.
If the Spanish say it was the ETA, then it was.

"If the Spanish say it was the ETA, then it was."
That still may be right... but there is an enormous amount of evidence that says otherwise.

This was not the ETA. The ETA is probably as repulsed by this as anyone. In 35 years the ETA has killed 800 people, if this was their doing they would have evacuated the trains and them blow them up.
23 people a year die in terrorist acts in spain due to ETA (on average).
I'm thinking that even ETA will not take this type of atack lightly and may even change things in Spain.
