Some background on Madrid
 |
Madrid's a population of
2,881,506 in 1998. Madrid has long been the center of Spanish government and
culture. As a result, it has drawn its population from all over the country. Castilian,
usually referred to as Spanish, is spoken with several regional accents. |
Basque Party
 |
The Basques are a Christian group in the mountainous region that straddles the border between modern-day Spain and France and they want an independent state. The train bomb is way beyond anything they are capable of. |
Suddenly the blame shifts from Basque to Al Queda
|
Al Queada suspectedSpanish officials
initially blamed the Basque separatist group ETA for the stunningly well-coordinated
series of 10 explosions but later shifted their focus to Al Queda.
Muslims claim responsibility The Arabic newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi said it had received a claim of responsibility issued in the name of al-Qaida - It said the brigade's "death squad" had penetrated "one of the pillars of the crusade alliance, Spain."
Spain back the USA in their attacks on AL Queda "This is part of settling old accounts with Spain, the crusader, and America's ally in its war against Islam,"

Muslims threaten " Winds of death " on
entire world
|
Straight out of a Hollywood movie "We have succeeded in infiltrating the heart of crusader Europe," the letter said, calling the bombings at three Madrid railway stations "Operation Death Trains." "We bring the good news to Muslims of the world that the expected 'Winds of Black Death' strike against America is now in its final stage," it added. U.S. intelligence agencies say Muslims will attack countries such as Spain that supported the U.S.-led war in Iraq Fears that Al-Qaeda was behind the Madrid blasts grew after a video was found Saturday in which a man speaking Arabic claimed the attacks in the name of the Islamic fundamentalist network. |
Video tape found at Mosque

Translation "We declare our responsibility for what happened in Madrid exactly 2 1/2 years after the attacks on New York and Washington. It is a response to your collaboration with the criminals Bush and his allies. " "You love life and we love death, which gives an example of what the Prophet Muhammad said. If you don't stop your injustices, more and more blood will flow and these attacks will seem very small compared to what can occur in what you call terrorism. " |
Meir Dagan - Head of Mossad
 Ties to the Sabra Shatila massacre

Would deny all knowledge of
bombings. Would consider Israel participation in the Bali Bomb, the three Iraq
Mosque bombs, or any others to be absurd speculation. Oddly Israel sends three pathologists will assist the Spanish government in identifying bodies from the terrorist bombings in Madrid. Military career 1970s:-- Under Sharon's command Dagan led a
special anti-terrorist unit the " Rimon undercover unit," which killed
Palestinian militants 1982: --As a commander in southern Lebanon during the Israeli invasion where 30,000 civilians were slaughtered. He helped establish the pro-Israel South Lebanese Army. 1987-1993:-- He establishment of undercover
units operating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. 1995: ---After retiring from the army,
Dagan joined Israel's secret service as deputy director. 1997:--- In charge of counter-terrorism. A
long time opponent of the Oslo peace accords, Dagan finally resigned after Barak appointed
a more moderate retired major general to run his new security-diplomatic team. Dagan's Positions on Camp David talks
and the current Intifada: Temple Mount: ---- He feels it's Israel's property but will let Arabs worship. Israel's assassination policy: ----- Says it's a justifiable tool

Who benefits and who loses
Winner: ---- Israel
