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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Jerrek as as much entitled to his point of view as you are. There is no need to get personal.
