A very strange incident to greet Spain's new Prime Minister. From the BBC, with thanks to Susan:
Vandals have desecrated the grave of a Spanish policeman who was killed when a group of Madrid bomb suspects blew themselves up. A Spanish radio station said his coffin was dragged from its tomb, doused with fuel and set on fire.Special agent Francisco Javier Torronteras died when seven suspected Islamic militants set off explosives as police moved in on their apartment.
Police said no motive for the desecration was immediately apparent.
Cadena SER radio station said the coffin was pulled from the tomb late on Sunday night, and dragged about 500 metres before being burned.
Tests on body
National Police spokesman Antonio Nevado confirmed the tomb had been desecrated, but gave no further details.
Security was stepped up around the cemetery at Carabanchel in southern Madrid following the attack.
Cadena SER said officers took the body to Madrid's Forensic Institute for tests.
Mr Torronteras, 41, was part of a special operations unit which was closing in on a flat in the Leganes district of Madrid on 3 April when those inside apparently deliberately set off explosives.
Police found the bodies of seven people they suspect may have been linked to the Madrid train bombings, which killed 192 people on 11 March.
One of the dead was the suspected ringleader of the bombing plot, Serhane ben Abdelmajid Fakhet.Eighteen people have been provisionally charged over their alleged role in the attacks.
The Spanish government has said the cell behind the bombs has been "neutralised", but admits that other suspects may still be at large.

Once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.
Posted by: Susan at April 19, 2004 1:31 PMThe Islamists love death so much, they pick on dead people. Look at Fallujah, they destroy corpses. Most likely because they know a corpse can't fight back and kick their cowardly asses.
I hate Jihadists with a passion.
Posted by: DCWatson at April 19, 2004 1:35 PMNo motive? Obviously the perps must be members of a white, ultra-right wing, neo-nazi group. Muslims are far too peace loving to do such a thing...
Posted by: Joe at April 19, 2004 3:02 PMAnd according to El Mundo online, the burned corpse was also impaled (head and chest)! Now, remind me...where did I see that before?
Posted by: spartacus at April 19, 2004 3:04 PMThe mutilation of corpses is a staple of Arab Muslim behavior toward murdered Israeli soldiers (and civilians). The practice was on display against the Americans in Fallujah. But the most ghoulish example occurred a few years back in Carpentras, in southern France, which once was a center of Jewish life. Jewish graves were vandalized, and corpses exhumed and dismembered. Try to guess who might have been responsible.
Posted by: Hugh at April 19, 2004 3:16 PMMaybe they should be looking for limbs hanging from some madrilene bridge?
Coming summer fashion in Europe is definitely Fallujan
Posted by: frenchfregoli at April 19, 2004 3:16 PMFighting with corpses or hiding behind women and children! ...Spineless cowards!

LOL me too.
We may not agree on politics, but there's obviously some common ground here....
Posted by: c dub at April 19, 2004 4:07 PMThe Caliphate is coming to Spain...Andalusia. The appeasement can't even save the dead.

These guys also have much good to add to your discussion here. Wonder if there is any way to get them in here to comment also?
Check that article. It seems to suggest that the way to End all of this may be the End of Islam.
Posted by: Gary at April 19, 2004 6:06 PMIn the case of Carpentras we were told that this was the work of Nazi lovers.
So was this french appeasement of Islam ?
Imagine what this brave spaniard's family must be going through !
Death is too good for these bastards
their is no shame in this war of muslims.
Posted by: christian at April 19, 2004 8:35 PMDhimmitude = make them know that they are humiliated and debased. This is just one of the nasty surprises that are in store for Spain.
Posted by: epg at April 19, 2004 8:55 PMC Dub....we ARE on common ground with regard to these closet pork eating jihadists....yes, we are.
Posted by: D.C. Watson at April 19, 2004 9:28 PMFollowing up the story of the 2 US policewomen murdered and 10 Americans wounded by UN Police from Jordan, following an argument over Iraq, in Mitrovica, Kosovo, yesterday, the UN - so predictably - has vehemently denied any link whatsoever to Iraq or the Middle East in this incident.
The UN and the appeasers in Spain are as purblind - and ultimately suicidal - as each other, but while the Spaniards are mostly dupes, the hypocritical UN - long compromised, co-opted and corrupted - is acting upon its "loftiest principles"....
Posted by: HG at April 19, 2004 10:23 PMThe desecration of that corpse shows the world the deep hatred that the muslims have for infidels.
Even the dead,they want to kill again,over and over.
The spaniards should know that their apeasement does not protect them in any way,not the living,not the dead,not the children,nor the women,the young or old,as long as they are infidels they are fair game for the muslim terrorists.
Al Andalus is just around the corner.
Spaniards better start reading the kuran and prepare for the rule of the sharia law.
this is orwell's nightmare coming to fruition:
the party of peace is bringing more war
Posted by: ted at April 20, 2004 12:21 PMAt Carpentras, four young French neo-Nazis were tried, and convicted, for impaling a corpse. The clear implication of what I wrote pointed to young Muslims; that was flatly wrong.
Posted by: Hugh at April 20, 2004 3:15 PMI was surprised to see see this act as similar to what was done during the later phases of the Spanish Inquistion.
With the same kind of religious furor, persons accused of heresy after dead were exhumed and burned.
These people will continue to outrage and horrify the people they want to dominate.
