This looks like a merger of ETA and Al Qaeda to me
Yes, a combined forces attack. Has the Socialist government surrendered yet, and is Osama moving to Toledo or Madrid?
That would be ET AL QUEDA.....
Good thing they elected that wimpy socialist government.
Can you please put your dad on the line? My dad was the king of sheba and all my pure vanity posts get treated as such.

At least one explosion happened at a gas station, Spanish media reported.
ETA has been trying to create a separate Basque nation in an armed struggle that has gone on for decades.
Spanish officials initially suspected ETA of being behind the Madrid train bombings of last March, in which dozens were killed. But that bombing was later tied to Muslim extremists.

Where is this being reported? Also, since the Spaniards elected socialist appeasers to office, the terrorists weren't supposed to attack them any more. What gives?
A prime example of how appeasement doesn't work.
So you mean Al Qaeda severed their ties with the Socialist party now that they are of no more use to them in order to form a new aliance with ETA?
Good thing they caved to the terrorists! </sarc >
Get my dad on the line...nopes hes in DC, Im in NJ at the moment
These reports are obviously inaccurate because Spain is now at peace with everyone.
10:01 PST MADRID, Spain (AP) -- At least one explosive device detonated in Madrid on Friday after a telephone warning from the armed Basque separatist group ETA, reports said.
One device exploded at a gas station near a highway packed with people leaving the city for a long holiday weekend, the news agency Efe said, quoting the manager of the station.
Another agency, Europa Press, said there were two small, separate blasts that caused no injuries. It quoted Interior Ministry officials who did not specify where the blasts took place.
Earlier Friday, the Basque newspaper Gara said it received a call from a person speaking on behalf of ETA who said five explosive devices had been placed at gas stations along major highways leading out of Madrid.
Mine's buried in a giant memorial in Sheba, but still my vanities get pulled or moved. Go figure.
Explosions in Madrid After ETA Bomb Threat - Radio
Fri Dec 3, 2004 12:57 PM ET
MADRID (Reuters) - Four explosions were reported at petrol stations in the Madrid area on Friday, Spanish radio stations said, following a phone warning in the name of the armed Basque separatist group ETA to a Basque newspaper.
The caller said five bombs had been left and were set to explode at 12:30 p.m. EST, Basque newspaper Gara reported on its Web site on Friday.
Radio stations later reported four explosions.
The blasts were small and no casualties were reported, the reports on Radio Ser and National Radio said.
Osama Bin Laden has expressed a desire to remove Christians from traditional Moslem lands. If there are any left in Spain they'd probably be best off getting tickets to somewhere else pretty soon.
