More 3/11. The key question is the explosive used in the massacre. Without a report saying that it was Goma-2 ECO, it would be very difficult to link the scapegoats blamed for the it with the attack itself.

Yes, expatpat, the news have been published in the printed edition of the Spanish Newspaper EL MUNDO. You've got here an excerpt from EL MUNDO webpage.

J,

So if I understand correctly, this means that the explosives that were present with Jihadists that were caught can not be matched to the explosives used on the trains.  And thus, the Jihadists are likely to get a light prison sentence.

However, I don't understand how the mix-up with the lab work came to be.  Is there no residue from the train explosions for a professional police laboratory to compare with the explosives caught with the Jihadis?  And further, wasn't there a link to Basque separatists with regards to the type of explosive used on the trains?

Is Mr. Bean, Presidente del Gobierno, trying to sweep the Jihad against Spain under the carpet?

So the train explosive was of a nitro glycerin type, while the suspects only had nitro glycol type explosives. Is that right?

Doesn't rule out that they (the islamic suspects) didn't have two batches of explosives, but since ETA is known for using Nitro glycerin explosives of the type on the train, it does raise some interesting questions.

Excuse my ignorance, but doesn't a subway attack seems a bit out of the norm for ETA? I know only a little of the history of their attacks.
