Please ignore the Orgy Of Evidence left at the scene and just believe us. This was done by Al Qaeda, because as a creation of the CIA & Mossad, we want to help Israel and the USA justify their illegal aggressions against other states. We'd also like to distract the media, while the evidence of a British-American-Spanish coup attempt sits parked in Africa, and can be traced to an American military base.

Given the proximity to the election, I suspect a US P2OG type involvement, in an attempt to ensure a continued alignment with the Bush cartel. However the Euro reaction may not be as kneejerk as was the US to 9/11, given that the majority of Spaniards opposed supporting the USUK attack on Iraq, and the illegal use of WMD - DU and cluster bombs and are generally better educated in the complexity of global issues, and informed enough to know that there was no AQ - Iraq connection prior to its creation by the USUK attack.

LETTER SUPPOSEDLY SENT BY AL QAEDA
“In the name of God, Clemente and Misericordioso, When punish you, you have to punish of the same way to who they punished you. You kill them there where find them; expel them as them they expelled you; the sedition is more serious than the murder.

CAIRO

“In the name of God, the Compassionate and Merciful, Just as they punish you, you must in the same way punish those who have punished you. Kill them there where you find them; expel them as they expelled you; treason is more serious than murder. To those who commit aggressions against you, you should do the same to them.

OPERATION TRAINS OF DEATH

The Abu Hafs al Masri Brigades promised in its last communiqué referring to the explosions of Kerbala and Baghdad of March 2, 2004 that they were preparing further operations and we have kept our promise: the death squadron has managed to penetrate the heartland of the European Crusade, striking a painful blow against one of the pillars of the Crusaders and its allies: Spain. This is part of a longstanding settling of scores with Crusader Spain, ally of America in its war against Islam.

Where is America, Aznar? Who will protect you, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and other agents from us? When we struck the Italian troops in Nasiriya we sent the agents of America our advice: withdraw from the alliance against Islam. But you did not understand the message. Now we clarify. We hope you understand the message. We in the Abu Hafs al Masri Brigades are not saddened by the deaths of civilians. Is it legitimate that they kill our children, women, elderly, and youth in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Kashmir, while it is a sin that we should kill them? Omnipotent God says that "you should attack those who attack you".

Get your hands off us, free our prisoners and leave our land, and we will leave you in peace. The people of the USA's allied countries should force their governments to put an end to the alliance for war against terrorism that means war against Islam. If you stop your war, we will stop ours. We say to you: the Death Smoke Squadron will soon strike you in a place where you will see thousands of dead, God willing, and this is a warning. We say to all Moslems that the strike being prepared by the Winds of Black Death is now in its final phase, ninety percent ready, God willing, for the right moment.

In another operation, the Soldiers of Jerusalem Squadrons struck Jews and masons in Istanbul, and three important masons died in that operation, and were it not for a technical failure, all the masons would have died. We say to the Bilal ibn Rabah Squadron that we have accepted the offer, and after the delegate's arrival, action will begin. And we say to the Abu Ali al Harfi Squadron that the leadership has decided to consider Yemen the third slough, and to give a lesson to its apostate Government that comes just after Pervez Musharraf. Because of this, all cells should be on the alert and the action will begin in 4515. And we say to those who kill Sunni Moslem ulemas in Iraq that they should raise their hands, or else...

Warning to the nations: do not approach the American Crusaders' or their allies' civil or military installations.

God is Great, God is Great. Islam is coming.

Brigades of Abu Hafs al Masri-Al Qaida.
Thursday 20 Muharram 1425-11 March 2004”.
