I don't think it was a lie. As soon as information came in, it was released.

I don't think there was any reason to leap at AQ involvement and set off hysteria before anything was even really known about it. It was more reasonable to think it was ETA, and there was no point in starting wild rumors until a little more information had come in.

These people are simply lunatics. Ansar al Islam, an Al Qaeda group in Iraq , is not evidence of jihadists but Spain not knowing that jihadists did the deed 12 hours after the deed is evidence of malfeasance.
