Spanish 'bomb workshop' uncovered
2004-03-27
Security forces in Spain have found an explosives workshop where the bombs used in the Madrid train attacks may have been made, Spanish radio says. Police found traces of explosives and detonators in a house near the village of Morata de Tajuna, 30km south-east of Madrid. There has been no official comment, but the house is believed to be the home of one of those arrested in connection with the attacks. It had been under police surveillance. At least 18 people - most of them of Moroccan origin - have already been arrested in Spain in connection with the bombings. Moroccan authorities have been questioning several people they have detained in connection with the bombings, which killed 190 people. A spokesman for the Moroccan government, Nabil Benabdallah, said the arrests were made in the north of the country, but declined to reveal the precise number of detainees and what they were suspected of.
3-11 follows the same pattern we've been seeing: the hard boyz spend a year or two seeing up their operation, the boom occurs, then the locals, if they're competent, clean up the entire mob. The entire organization, though they don't realize it, is expendable.

#3  Fred,

You have a point though remember that this is only true if the rest of the cell is slow.

Remember the Doc in Fla who vanished just around the time of 9-11, like the day before, just after the assassination of the Afghan Opposition Leader....

#2  I am curious to see what sort of terms these guys serve, if any.

Europe could be an Islamonuts dream: no death penalty and light sentences, so easy to recruit teams to plant bombs. And when the bombs go off, voila, welcome to the Caliphate.
