Re: I somehow do not directly jump to a Zionist led bomb party. Do you? No. I have several ideas of who the perpetrators might be. The Zionist thing is, of course, highly plausible because of the history of "false flag" operations that have been carried out by the Mossad and the Zionists (Perhaps a redundant expression). "xymphora" came up with another very plausible suggestion. Royalist Spaniards who wanted to goose the "law & order" vote by blaming the attack on ETA. xymphora.blogspot.com And a third group well known for covert action is the U.S. CIA and other covert ops types who seem to be getting very bold these days. Their action in Haiti and Venezuela is blatant. I don't believe that the CIA ever sees any limits to its intervention in foreign elections and coups. *** I can do a cui bono? "Who Benefits?" analysis for each of these three right wing groups that would be plausible. It is much less plausible that ETA or al Qaeda had much to gain by panicking the population just before an election. Furthermore, in the past, ETA seems to have been much more targetted on public officials and went out of its way to avoid civilian casualties. And I simply don't know how much of a presence al Qaeda operatives would have had in Spain. Besides which, anyone working for al Qaeda surely must have analyzed the likely results of a random terrorist incident three days before the election to be likely to sway the vote toward the right wing "law and order" candidates. Therefore such an act by al Qaeda would be self-defeating. I refuse to think that the Muslim extremists are completely irrational. Which is what they'd have to be to try to pull off the Madrid bombings.
