Bomb find perturbs Spanish press
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3596303.stm

El Pais says the fact the same kind of explosives and a similar detonator was found in Friday's bomb to those used in the Madrid attacks on 11th March "suggests that in both cases it is the same terrorist organisation, supposedly the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group".
....
Together with the letter sent to our embassy in Cairo, in which a terrorist group from Egypt threatened attacks against Spanish interests if Spain does not withdraw its troops from Iraq and Afghanistan within four weeks, this allows us to arrive at the alarming conclusion that Spain is in the firing line of Islamic terrorism," the paper writes.

It warns that if Mr Zapatero were to shorten his timescale on withdrawing Spanish troops from Iraq if the UN does not play a bigger role there, this would be the "same as giving in to terror".

The paper argues that the bomb find proves wrong those who accuse Mr Rodriguez Zapatero of appeasing terrorists with his withdrawal pledge.

1. What would $200BB have bought the world if we had marshalled
all the nations to root out and fight terror as a criminal action that it is? I suspect that the war would have been over within months of 9/11....if this administration hadn't completely screwed it up by detouring us into Iraq.
