Qaeda Did Not Act Alone in Madrid - BERLUSCONI agi.it (AGI) - Rome, Italy, March 17 - Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi spoke about the Madrid attacks in two interview with two national newspapers, and expressed a doubt. "Too many coincidences in a perfect and ruthless mechanism: I don't believe that Al Qaeda acted alone. I'm convinced that Aznar had seen something, that in some way Eta had a part in the attacks. The technique was too refined, as was the choice of timelines. Above all, the forgetfulness of some traces here and there are too suspicious. Some casual events give the idea that a ruthless mechanism was put in place in order to cause certain political consequences: behind it there is a refined mind," he said. (AGI) .
