Yeah, I was wondering about the timing, too. Spanish elections are going to result in the anti-terrorists getting a huge boost if it's an al Qaeda hit. There will be a Basque crackdown if it's the ETA.

If it's al Qaeda, why Spain? I know they're a big supporter of the WOT, but so is Italy and Britain.

My guess is that Spain is a little more "backwards" technologically than Italy and Britain; thus, it's easier to get bombs in place without being detected.

Plus, we know that the Muslims still have a big grudge against Spain for evicting them some 500 years ago. If there's one thing that they're good at, it's holding a grudge for centuries and centuries.
