Appeasement is never rewarding, new government that benefited from public reaction to Anzar lies and near appeasement the same public faces new challenges, and the ante is raised by Al-qaeda. Once they became sure that they could steal the election through terror now following new demand bordering compromise on sovereignty of Spain, now I will see how the new PM answers this call... A letter purporting to be from al-Qaeda warned Spain to withdraw its forces immediately from Iraq and Afghanistan or face "hellish" consequences, a Spanish newspaper reported on Monday. "The Spanish state has continued its aggressions against Muslims in sending new troops to Iraq and announcing its intention to send new units to Afghanistan," the ABC newspaper quoted the Arabic language letter as saying. It said it received the fax on Saturday signed by "Abu Dujana al-Afgani (of the) Ansar Al-Qaeda Europe group" which announced it was scrapping a "truce" designed to give Spain time to remove its forces. "We are announcing the cancelling of the truce with effect from midday Sunday, April 4," the statement said, calling on Spain to desist from helping "enemies of the Muslim community — the United States and its allies. "If these demands are not met we will declare war on you and turn your country into a hell where blood will flow in rivers. This is our last warning." Spain’s incoming Socialist prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has vowed to withdraw 1,300 Iraq-based troops by June 30 unless they come under UN command. A relief force is, however, on its way to replace the current contingent.
