Police arrest six Spaniards tied to Madrid terrorist attack

From AP, with thanks to DC Watson:

The suspects included the security guard of a coal mine from which the 440 pounds of explosives used in the March 11 train bombings were stolen, Interior Minister Jose Antonio Alonso said.

Two other suspects were the wife and brother-in-law of Jose Emilio Suarez, a former miner in Asturias who already has been jailed and charged with multiple murders in the attacks, which killed 191 people.

The six suspects have not been officially charged with a crime but were suspected of supplying the dynamite, Alonso said. The brother-in-law had been arrested once before on March 27 but was released after questioning.

Alonso declined to give details of how the dynamite was passed on to the suspected Islamic cell that staged the attacks. But officials previously have said the bombers paid for the dynamite with cash and drugs.

Perhaps, if these boffins are found guilty, we could recreate Hypatia's demise. Just give all the families of the dead or wounded an oyster shell, and voila!
Can't think of people who deserve it more, excepting the soulless morons who actually planted the bombs.

'UN inspectors: Saddam shipped out WMD before war and after'

Excuse my language, but what the Hell is this?

I thought Kerry and Co. said there was NO WMD in Iraq (Even though they were Happy to agree with Clinton when HE said there was WMD in Iraq, and gave intelligence reports to Prove it!)

Except that the brilliant and beautiful Hypatia's only crime was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.Try explaining advanced logarithims to an angry mob.
Gary, quick, drop this forum and get to the previous one on the WMDs and go deal with Mahmoud. He's posting over there. I love the way you, hugh and Bob, with apologies to Shakespeare, "Jest at skulls that never felt a brain".

6 arrested, that's enough to make a pyramid.
