Who says that ETA has very much to do with it? This is a smaller 9/11, exerted on what was considered to a softer target than any in the US. Perhaps the better comparison would be to the attacks of US embassies in Africa.

Al-Qaeda trying to draw attention AWAY from Afghanistan and Pakistan. We should hope, that Spain does not treat this as a law enforcement problem.
