The Madrid Bombings

I’ve been watching and reading different news reports on the bombings in Madrid, and have begun to doubt that the bombings were the work of the ETAUPI has a report that shows how these bombings have all the hallmarks of al-Qaeda.

The BBC is still reporting that the ETA was responsible.  Fox News is running a report that al-Qaeda is now claiming responsibility.

From what I’ve seen of the bombings and the different reports, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was al-Qaeda who pulled this atrocity off.  I think they’re in for a shock though.  The people of Spain won’t bend to their terror tactics.  And on top of that, I believe it will galvanize many European countries against al-Qaeda who will add their resources and intelligence into the fight against al-Qaeda and terrorism.

Or at least that’s what I’m hoping will happen.

I was beginning to have my doubts yesterday about the ETA have sole responsibilty for the attacks. The mission was far more complex and devastating than anything the ETA has done in the past. The precise use of the train schedules echos the precision timing that was used by al-Qaeda on the attacks in the US. If the ETA was responsible, it almost had to have al-Qaeda assistance.

I also read a report on the BBC earlier that said that now the Europeans may end up having a better understanding of why the US is unrelenting in it’s war on terrorism. Maybe now the Europeans will be less critical of the US and be much more suppostive. In the 70’s and 80’s, Europeans treated terrorism as a way of life, but the attacks in Madrid seems to have changed everything.

Only time will tell what road the Europeans will take.

I’ve been listening to Virgin Radio UK all day and they’ve been talking about it being al-Qaeda instead of the ETA.

What little I know of Basques in general (I’m half Basque) I doubt if they’d work with al-Qaeda.

Vict, buddy, time to stop smoking/snorting/huffing whatever it is you’re doing and breathe in some fresh air.
