Incorregible, that's it. There is no way to link the explosives the "Jihadists" you say (though a Muslim petty criminal does not equal a Jihadist) allegedly had, to the explosive on the trains.

Of course there were residues from the train explosions, numbers play with us: ten explosion scenes, two somewhat controlled explosion scenes. The probability of not identifying the explosive used is comma followed five or six zeros, one. The problem is that any other report has been concealled because its conclusions do not exclude ETA.

Unbelievably, only Sánchez-Manzano report adresses the kind of explosive used ON the trains in all the 3/11 Judicial summary.

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

Under his carpet there is much more than a few Jihadists, believe me.

redgolum,

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

Yes, it can be inferred so from the mistake of Sánchez-Manzano before the 3/11 Commission of Investigation: the analyses of the rests from the trains did not discard ETA.

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.

I don't think so. It is not easy as foreigner to obtain explosives and not being discovered. That is the reason real Islamic terrorists prefer TATP, which can be home-made from commercial products. Moreover, the entire Official Version foundes itself on the Goma-2 ECO sold in Asturias to Jamal Ahmidan... without it, where did the moors obtain the explosive? The most probable answers is ETA, followed by secret services.

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.

Well, on Christmas Eve 2003, three months before the attack, ETA left some suitcases in a train from San Sebastian to Madrid Chamartín station, packed with explosives. The terrorist were caught, the train stopped and the bombs deactivated.

ETA does what it is necessary to win, and follows no rules. Attacks on the civil population, when carried out, such as the Hipercor attack in Barcelona in the late 1980's have costed much of the support for its cause by the far left voters, in the places that had occurred. ETA knows that it cannot openly attack the Spanish people but, what if leaving two decoys and letting some pro-Socialist high rank police officers do the rest?

For more information about the explosives in the trains, check this article. Much of it is still valid even one year after writting it.
