Re: Hey Gus, I hear Spain's 3/11 had nothing to do with militant Islam, either. Last Updated: Monday, 29 November, 2004, 10:54 GMT Aznar scorns Madrid 'bomb lies' Spain's former prime minister Jose Maria Aznar has told a parliamentary commission into the Madrid bombings that his conscience is clear. One hundred and ninety-one people died and more than 1,800 were injured when four packed commuter trains were bombed on 11 March this year. Mr Aznar has been accused of misleading the country about the attacks in a failed bid for re-election. But he said it was others who had sought to gain political advantage. Mr Aznar's conservative Popular Party (PP) lost the general election to the Socialists three days after the attacks, which many Spaniards believe were carried out in retaliation for Spain's support of the US-led war in Iraq. The former prime minister has been criticised for being too quick to blame the attack on the armed Basque separatist group Eta instead of Islamic extremists. But Mr Aznar said that the Socialist leader and current Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero had told him by telephone on the day of the attacks that "it made no difference to him whether it was Eta or al-Qaeda".
