1. I thought the Madrid train bombings were ETA not Al Queda.

Am I wrong? :shrug:

2. Yes, the first reaction of the Spanish Press was to blaime ETA, but...

...that's not how it turned out.

Lot's of links with info here:

Train bomb trial starts in Madrid

The trial of 29 people accused of involvement in train bombings that killed 191 people in March 2004 has opened in the Spanish capital, Madrid.

Seven suspects, most of whom are Moroccan, face charges of murder and belonging to a terrorist group.

The first defendant, Rabei Osman, said he had nothing to do with the bombings and denied links to Islamic extremists. The trial is expected to last for several months and hear from hundreds of witnesses and police experts.

More than 1,700 people were injured in the multiple bomb attacks on four rush-hour trains in Madrid.

Investigators in Spain have attributed the attacks to a local cell of Islamic extremists inspired by al-Qaeda.

3. This is amazing, the way that the Spanish Police pieced all this together...

...are Spanish Laws that much different of those in this country that make it seem so much easier for the Spanish to solve this crime, as opposed to all the BS grandstanding by Bush and his buddies?:shrug:
