911 Days after 9/11

What a accident!

911 Days after 9/11 at least 190 people have been killed and over 1000 injured in a series of blasts which ripped through railway stations in the Spanish capital Madrid. What a accident! Ten terrorist bombs tore through trains and stations along a commuter line at the height of Madrid's morning rush hour Thursday, killing more than 192 people and wounding 1,400 others before this weekend's general elections.
Asking who's behind these murderous crime it doesn't make sense for ETA to strengthen Aznar and his party by random bombing civilians `cause he is a deadly enemy and uncompromising against any dialogue. There is no sense for ETA bombing civilans 'cause the political backing goes to zero. There is no sense `cause ETA at most attacks politicans, officials and executive authority. There is no sense for Al Quaida to bomb civilians 'cause 90 percent of spain civilians have denunciate the raid on Iraq. The question is who can capitalize on fear, rage and panic. Who can protect us by total control, by lashing civil law to establish a Orwell Europe, a Orwell America. There is a sense to fetch back Europe to the boat for more honorable wars against evil nations delivered with weapons-grade uranium by US since for decades. Definitely others are behind these attacks as presented on the platter and Gen. Tommy Franks has told on informal interview that if US or a friendly nation (Vassal) will attacked by heavy terror bombing the american Constitution will be cancelled and replaced by military government. It is done. Let's follow the next steps. Anything else? The mother of all assaults before elections, may be a final bombing in London or the grandmother of all assaults in USAF two weeks before the Bush cretin will be reelected by election-machines. Al-Qaida is always on the spot when Bush need them. Peculiar, isn't it?

911,7 Days

The notation 9/11 in Europe is not in use, so it's only a american accident similar like the jackpot accident 9/11 one year later after on the Neo-Con PNCA protocol was postulated a second Pearl Harbor

What you have written is both offensive and wrong. You should be ashamed

Jose this is not the place for emotion.

Like it or not the writer has a valid point to make. A lot of people
will be thinking exactly the same.

No way Jose

Thats no way to convey an opinion. How about explaining WHY ? Does seem a bit odd not to claim responsibility for something so vicious. perhaps this could be some kind of fear inducing diversionary tactic by those who dont want us lowly peasants to pay attention to certain other stories in the media? Best betis to is to assume official media coverage is complete bulls*it, like it usually is.

912 days

Yesterday was 912 days since September 11th 2001. However not including the actual days of both these terrible attacks its 911 days in between the two.

"There is no sense for Al Quaida to bomb civilians 'cause 90 percent of spain civilians have denunciate the raid on Iraq."

Come on this is absolute rubbish! There is not logic in this statement. Civillians in Iraq themselves are being killed in bombings in what some people call the resisitance against the occupation.

There is certainly a debate to be had over whether this outrage in spain is eta. Mainstream press and politicians are certainly split, though not equally.

On the one hand there were warnings coming from spanish authorities in that previously eta had planned a bombing in a train station, and that more recently a large amount of explosives were seized en route to madrid. On the other this outrageous loss of life from such a horrific attack is way off the radar when compared to previous eta attacks. When 20 approx people were killed in a supermarket bombing, eta apologised, and often they have issued warning ahead of bombings - their more usual tactic is more akin to assasination.

Sure some will point towards similar conspiracy theories that were claimed after the horrific 911 attacks in america, but what you have written above is clearly wrong. No doubt these kind of theories will be given strength from the way the spanish authorities have very quickly blamed eta.

Either way europe has now been hit in this 'war' against terrorism. Basques can expect a renewed clampdown. European wide anti-terrorism laws will be further strengthened and cross border co-operation increased.

The question will be left, when will britain be hit?

Just What the Ruling Class Wants

This type of terrorism is just what the ruling class wants! Indiscriminate terror of Spanish civilians--90% of whom opposed the Iraq War. It demonstrates to the broad, dumb masses, that THEY ARE THE ENEMY of the Islamo-fascists no matter what their political ideology is. The Peace Movement in the West will melt away just like the formerly mass Peace Movement in Israel melted. It's too bad, but the 21st century is not the 20th.

spainish general election , just a coincedence

12.03.2004 22:50

more likely to be eta given that spain is due to hold elections and that the spainish govt has banned some of the militant basque parties. out of frustration and without a political voice people will go to extreme.

unforunately we willie winkle is right, the terrorist have played into the hands of the pro-war right wing ruling party. they are more likely to get re-elected. this act is a backward step for anyone fighting imperalism, only mass action not liberals with bombs can suceed.

however ,its interesting to see the demonstration has been influence by the anti-war movement with people calling for peace and no to all forms of terrorism ,whether thats seperatists or american bombers terrorising the shit out of iraq's.
