>>Purported Qaeda Letter Calls Truce in Spanish Ops
1 hour, 47 minutes ago Add World - Reuters to My Yahoo!

CAIRO (Reuters) - A group that said it had links to Al Qaeda said it was calling a truce in its Spanish operations to see if the new government would withdraw its troops from Iraq (news - web sites), a pan-Arab newspaper said.

In a statement sent Wednesday to the Arabic language daily al-Hayat, the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, which claimed responsibility for the Madrid bombings that killed 201 people, also urged its European units to stop all operations.

"Because of this decision, the (our) leadership has decided to stop all operations within the Spanish territories...until we know the intentions of the new government that has promised to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq," the statement said.

"And we repeat this to all the brigades present in European lands: Stop all operations."

The newly-elected Spanish Socialist government has said it would probably withdraw its troops from Iraq. <<
