912 actually. And 911 is a number of significance only in the American notation of the western calendar (here it would be 119), which isn't the same as the Arabic calendar anyway (I believe 11th September 2001 was of signifcance in Islam though).

People can get too fixated on interesting coincidences, which turn up everywhere. It's a form of superstition.

Mind you it was 2 1/2 years to the day too (11/9/2001 to 11/3/2004).

Edit: I think the timing was more to do with disrupting the democratic process in Spain and prevent the re-election of an Iraq-war-supporting government. Hence the time from now till the next election here in the UK is going to be dangerous, so keep your eyes open and your wits about your. Seriously (and I'm not often serious).
