So much for the cease-fire promised by the Islamists.

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

Thats what I thought but then i thought abt it and it seems more like something ETA would do, so who knows

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

If this is the work of terriorist cells, I think it is hard to get a consensus on the topic.

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

Which people, apart from terrorists, would mail bombs around?

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

My point is, if Osama bin Laden called a cease fire tomorrow, how would he tell the cells and would they agree?

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

Thats a good point Downquark1 when they claim to be followers of Bin Laden that only means that they have the same views as him not that he has any influence over them. Don't get me wrong I'm sure he is very well respected by them but he has no control over them IMO

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

I dont think it would be ETA, they operate more like the IRA, they dont target civilians or normal people deliberatly. They go for collateral damage to the countries infrastructure. Cause as much damage and cost to the goverment as possible, sending letter bombs just dosent seem there style.

Also, after Madrid, i dont think ETA will be in a hurry to blow anything up.

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

I agree with you, what is wrong is labelling them x terrorists, or y terrorists?

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

Wow! You should *really* work for the Police, you know! You could save them *so* much time.

Who needs to investigate crimes when Jerrek's here to *tell* them unequivocably whodunnit without even needing to look at the evidence... :rolleyes:

im pretty sure stuff like this goes on a lot we just dont hear about it ..also trying to guess who dunnit is a silly game as we know so little as the govt has the keep the information secret for various reasons we are told what we should be its why we elect them ..thankfully the bomb was found #

Re: MERGED - Bombs Found In Spain
 

Well Spain pulling out of Iraq gonna be pointless then innit, just to show that doing it will not stop madmen.

Re: MERGED - Bombs Found In Spain
 

Looks like Jerrek was right. They are almost certain now it seem that this bomb has close ties to the previous ones in Madrid.

I suppose the 64 million dollar question is Was this bomb planted recently, or was it an overhang from their previous campaign? There was a detonator attached to the bomb, but they haven't said wether it was live or not. I suppose that indicates it was and that it was planted recently, breaking their own word that they would cease hostilities against Spain.

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

If Jerrek's point of view was based on any *facts* I would have no objection to it. Since he has merely jumped to a conclusion based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever, I take exception.

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

Bit of a moot point now though as it's the same explosives used in the madrid bombing.

Re: Bombs sent to spanish media
 

Ahem:

"MADRID, Spain (AP) †� A Spanish railroad inspector found a 26-pound bomb hidden in a bag on a busy high-speed line Friday, and police said the device may contain the same dynamite used in last month's Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people."

(My emphasis)

Re: MERGED - Bombs Found In Spain
 

I would say, the terrorists arnt here to score political victories and change goverments, so what better way to prove it than to bomb spain again just to prove there point.

There attacks may of changed the european political landscape forever by putting a pro european goverment into spain, but that was never there objective. It was to cause terror, pure and simple.

Re: MERGED - Bombs Found In Spain
 

One Policeman and three terror suspects have been killed in an explosion in Madrid

Shame about the policeman, but good riddance to that **** :mad:

On a side note,

11/09 (Sept11) and now 11/03 (madrid)... Thinking about 11/6 next?

Someone also mentioned Madrid bombing was 911 days after the Sept 11th :O

Well, 912 if you could the leap year..
