The usual inelegant grab of links, but I have culled the best links within links for fast reference.

These link lists are great resources.
I just wish there was a way the FR Admin would put a link on the sidebar to an index of these type resources. Otherwise, after the topic goes off the page due to new topics, it becomes almost impossible to find again.
Many great link lists exist. Too bad they become lost -- unless someone just happens to remember a certain one or happens to have a link.

Thanks for putting these links together. I saw the footage on TV this morning but this is the first time I've had to sit down and follow this story and these links are a great help. My very first impression was that this was Al Quaeda-linked and it's starting to look that way. All I know is that the Spanish people have been our friends and our prayers are with them.

E-Mail: Attack on U.S. 90 Percent Ready [FOXNEWS]AP via FOXNews.com ^ | Thursday, March 11, 2004 | Associated Press
Posted on 03/11/2004 4:55:50 PM EST by Momaw Nadon
CAIRO, Egypt — The Arabic newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi said Thursday it had received a claim of responsibility for the Madrid train bombings issued in the name of Al Qaeda.
The five-page e-mail claim, signed by the shadowy Brigade of Abu Hafs al-Masri, was received at the paper's London offices. It said the brigade's "death squad" had penetrated "one of the pillars of the crusade alliance, Spain," and carried out what it called Operation Death Trains.
"This is part of settling old accounts with Spain, the crusader, and America's ally in its war against Islam," the claim said.
Referring to Spain's Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, the statement asked: "Aznar, where is America? Who will protect you, Britain, Japan, Italy and others from us?"
The newspaper faxed the claim to The Associated Press office in Cairo.
The statement warned the United States that a major strike is approaching.
"We announce the good news for the Muslims in the world that the strike of the black wind of death, the expected strike against America, is now at its final stage — 90 percent ready — and it is coming soon, by God's will," the claim said.
Asked about the claim of responsibility, White House spokesman Sean McCormack said "we've seen the news reports and we're going to determine what the facts are."
The message also referred to last year's attack on Italian paramilitary police serving in the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.
"When we attacked the Italian troops in Nasiriyah and sent you and America's agents an ultimatum to withdraw from the anti-Islam alliance, you did not understand the the message. Now we have made it clear and hope that this time you will understand," the statement said.
"We, at the Abu Hafs brigades, have not felt sad for the so-called civilians," the statement in an apparent reference to the hundreds of casualties in Thursday's attacks in Madrid.
"Is it OK for you to kill our children, women, old people and youth in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Kashmir? And is it forbidden to us to kill yours?" the claim asked.
The statement said another Al Qaeda squad, Jund al-Quds or Soldiers of Jerusalem, had carried out Tuesday night's attack on a Masonic lodge in Istanbul, Turkey.
"All the Masons would have been killed but there was a technical fault. So because God wished it, only three were killed," the statement said.
In the attack, two suicide bombers opened fire in the lodge's dining hall, killing a waiter and wounding five other people. The attackers then detonated rudimentary explosives. One assailant died in the blast while the other was severely wounded.

Thanks for putting this together. I have added it to my list - which just keeps getting longer.
