I know this will cause all kinds of conniptions from you but you do know that it was neven proven that AQ did the bombings in Spain.

> How was Spain, of all countries, putting pressure on AQ?

The most important reason for this attack is that they showed they could influence the outcome of an election -- a fact which nobody can really disagree with. By doing so, they bolstered their strength and showed the world they had not been shut out -- particularly important at the point in time when it occurred.

Secondly, you should keep in mind that Spain was an easy target -- while other countries had stronger anti-terrorist measures in place, it was well known that Spain was an easier target.
