As I'm sure you already know, they found a bomb on the high-speed rail line between Madrid and Seville. No one was hurt, fortunately; inspectors found the bomb while doing a routine daily check. They'd buried the bomb in the railbed and there was a hundred-meter cable running from there to the bushes. The bomb didn't go off because the timer had not been set, which means the official hypothesis is that whoever planted the bomb was disturbed before finishing the job. The dynamite used in the bomb is the same as that used in the 3/11 Madrid bombings.

This is what happens when you appease terrorists--they come back for some more. La Vangua ran a story saying that they suspect there are 300 Moroccan Islamist Combatent Group affiliates in Spain, which means there are plenty more where Jamal Zougam and Abderraman Balkh came from.

The incoming Spanish government and most of the Spanish people do not seem to recognize that they, too, are at war with Al Qaeda. See, no matter how peaceful you want to be and however good your intentions are, if they want to kill you they're going to at least give it a try. The current illusion de jour is that Al Qaeda hit Spain because Aznar supported American and sent troops to Iraq, and if that hadn't happened Madrid wouldn't have been bombed. Dream on, Spaniards, keep dreaming. 3/11 didn't wake most of you up. Neither will this little incident. Al Qaeda hates you because you are degenerate Westerners whose women are prostitutes, Spaniards. They don't hate you because of Aznar. They don't know or care who Aznar is. They want to kill and destroy the West because the West is unholy and Satanic--and, ironically, it's the peace and love mutliculti lefties who make noise about sexual freedom and gay rights and freethinking and individual rights and women's equality whom Al Qaeda despises most.

I am terribly afraid that what wakes Spain up is going to be something on a 9/11 scale.
