Seems really bad - it broke on talksport this morning as they were talking to the spanish correspondant about the Champs leage - and after it became clear what happened they put the footy on the back burner Atleast 150 dead now - very sad Important enough for uefa to consider canceling the uefa cup games tonight - if anything happens at these games involving spanish clubs tonight - they will be alot of explianing to do

There are other suspects, don't ETA usually own up to this kind of action? "Spain's strong support for the US and Britain in the run-up to war with Iraq could make Spain a target in the eyes of shadowy Islamic groups, he says. Such a suggestion has already been made by the leader of the banned Basque separatist party Batasuna, who denied that Eta could have been behind the attacks. Arnald Otegi pointed the finger instead at what he called "the Arab resistance". " from news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3502218.stm

And as someone said on the radio, this morning- it was the 11th again.
Pictures in the paper really heartbreaking- a young couple with a baby, all of them covered in blood, for example.
What "cause" could possibly matter more than people?

not only is it the 11th (exactly 2 1/2 years after the "other" attrocity), but, if you take out the leap year day, its also exactly 911 days after.

Eta would have claimed responsibility bvery quickly if it had been them, especially as the elections are now only a day or two away. Looks like Al Quida (spelling?) again. According to a report last night, they are 90% of the way through planning their next attack on America. This is called 'winds of black death' or something similar. Chemical warfare maybe?
