Spanish officials on the tracks (AP)
Is this a bombing attempt by another group, or do the mujahedin want something more from dhimmi Spain? From AP:
Police found a bomb Friday under the track of Spain's bullet train line between Madrid and Seville, the Spanish interior minister said.Bomb-disposal experts alerted by a railway employee found 22-24 pounds of explosive that might be dynamite about 40 miles south of Madrid, Interior Minister Angel Acebes said.
The explosives were connected to a detonator with a 450-foot cable, the minister told a news conference.
The track is used by Spain's Ave trains, which can reach speeds of 186 mph.
Acebes said it was not known who placed the bomb.
The bomb's discovery came less than a month after 10 backpack bombs ripped through four commuter trains in Madrid, killing 191 people and injuring more than 1,800. The focus of the investigation is a Moroccan extremist group with links to al-Qaida. The bombs were detonated with cell phones attached to the explosives.
On Thursday, police in northern Spain defused three letter bombs addressed to journalists in Madrid.
Acebes said the origin of the letter bombs has not been determined, although the mechanism of the bombs is "similar to those that have been used by anarchist groups on previous occasions."
Yeah, we heard that about the Madrid bombings too. There's no telling yet who planted these bombs, but it would be as unwise to rule out any group at this stage as it was to blame ETA precipitously for the Madrid attacks.
Also: Spanish media targeted with letter bombs. (Thanks to Jeffrey Imm for the link.)

This is a job for .........Mr. Terrorism!!!!
Spain better wise up, and Dhimmi down....pour troops into Iraq, and expel the Islamists from their nation......Actually, that's not a bad idea for alot of countries right at the moment.
Posted by: D C Watson at April 2, 2004 9:11 AMWon't it be so ironic if the found bomb was put there by an Islamic Group? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..
My, my - appeasement certainly does work, if that is found to be the case!
jihan
Since the spaniards have already spitted on the US, whom have they left to blame this time?
Maybe the bomb was planted to remind zeropato to withdraw FASTER???
