Over 170 have been killed in Madrid terror attacks!

Well, this is a tragedy. Terrorists...I don't know what to say really.

It still seems unclear who did it, I'd say Al-Qaeda and ETA are both very possible, there are things talking for and against both possibilities. I'd say Al-Qaeda right now though.

I really hope that it isn't Al Qaeda, because in this case there would be immediate terrorist threat in all around the Europe.

good morning Mr Finn

Morning?

as in you woke up finally

Oh, I think I see what you mean. But the threat against Sweden or Finland must be considered to be pretty minimal.

If the attack was by Al Qaeda, it's possible that it has nothing to do with the war in Iraq, but a hell of a lot to do with symbolism.
Remember: there were Crusades in Spain as well...

Lol, I don't think they're that intelectually advanced...

To Umengus: this isn't really the thread, but it's a little unclear. I perosnally think that it would work in favour of Bush, since it would make national security a more improtant issue again, and that's one of his main strengths, even if anothetr attack would hurt his credibility.

It is likely some minor co-operation between the ETA and Al-Queda. The attack was very suffisticated, and was likely not masterminded by Al-Queda alone. Perhaps they used the small Muslim population in Spain for help, but I suspect the ETA was involved, perhaps in a small respect, but involved.

I hope ETA was involved, since it would most likely mean that they're over.

It's Al Qaeda

I know, largely due to the reason I mention in my post...

Lots of people begin to think that it's Al Quaeda.

It's a stupidity to organize elections today too. It's amazing.

No it isn't. Terrorists should never be allowed to prevent democratic processes, that's giving in to them.
