Spain Mourns 'Our September 11,' Qaeda Link Probed --Spain's Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar said on Friday all leads would be pursued to catch the Madrid train attackers as investigators tried to pin down whether Basque separatists or Muslim militants were to blame... Responsibility for Thursday's attacks on packed Madrid commuter trains -- which also wounded 1,430 people -- could be crucial to the outcome of Sunday's general election in Spain which is going ahead despite a halt to campaigning. --article submitted by CLG reader Xavier Casto, Madison, WI Millions Protest Over Spain Bombs, ETA Denies Blame --Millions of grieving Spaniards poured into the streets crying "cowards" and "killers" on Friday as Basque separatist group ETA denied responsibility for the Madrid bombings that killed nearly 200 people. Doubt over al Qaeda claim --A group saying it speaks for al Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the Madrid train bombings in an e-mail to an Arabic-language newspaper in London. However, intelligence officials have said the group does not speak for al Qaeda and has been unreliable in the past. From a CLG reader: Now that 'Al Qaeda' has struck in Spain--ensuring the victory of the right-wing this Sunday--speculation moves to Australia. Are they next? Peace, Scott, Baltimore, MD, March 12, 2004 From a CLG reader: Let's not ignore the link being reported between Spain and the 'mercenaries' captured in Zimbabwe. This act of terrorism is an awfully large and horrible distraction away from a critical story (the mercenaries).
