Toe tag in Spain Suspect Hunt
2004-04-03
Police hunting for suspects in the Madrid terrorist bombings cordoned off an area in the southern outskirts of the capital Saturday, a government spokesman said. There was a report that one person was killed.
Presumably one of the Bad Guys...
Police in the town of Leganes were looking for "several" suspects in an anti-terrorist operation connected to the March 11 attack, which killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800, Interior Ministry spokesman Richard Ibanez said. He could not say how many suspects there were, or their importance or connection to the attacks. The national news agency Efe reported that police carried out a controlled explosion in a nearby plaza. The agency said one person was killed and several were injured, but it had few other details.
"You'll never take us alive, coppers!"
"Manuel! Blow the house."
This could not immediately be confirmed, although ambulances were seen rushing to the area. Some residents of the area were evacuated and others were told to stay indoors as police carried out their search, said local resident Oscar Merino, 33. He said searchlights from three low-flying helicopters scanned the neighborhood. Spain already has charged 15 people in the March 11 bombings on four commuter trains, Spain's worst terror attack. The government has said its investigation is focused on the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, which has ties to the al-Qaida network.

#10  I believe I'll follow him around and post a subset of this after each of his little post-dated jewels of wisdom. He's not doing badly, today, except for pretending he's above responding to you and Jen. Personally, I now believe he IS an asshat - I wasn't sure until he stiffed you guys and ran away. I see no intellectually honest way to reconcile his posts with the "shrub" bit. So, until he gives you guys a satisfactory answer, I figure he's worthy of adversarial attention. Grins & Regards, Bro! Feel free to join in!

#9  Well said .com! He is a troll as I commented in another thread an hour ago. I think he thinks he is sooo smart fooling us all. Posting to dead threads indicates someone who is particularly clueless. But he can spell ;-)

#8  What's with posting on all these old stories?

This one, for instance, has been updated today (4/4) - there were 5 bad guys and a Spanish Cop Killed. It's not good news to lose a Cop. So your comment is not only stupid, it's specious and proves you're clueless or disingenuous.

So WTF's the deal?

You gonna go back in time and create some pointless legacy that maybe ONE or TWO people will ever read?

What the fuck is wrong with you? We had another troll who liked to do this - once upon a time. He stepped on his dick once too often. Now we don't see his dumbass 'round here much.

Are you the New and Improved (Spell Checker) DROLL TROLL FUCKTARD? Or are you gonna become a Rantburger?

On one thing there is no doubt, RB is easily the most interesting, fun, and informative place on the mother-loving Internet. Period and Full Stop. And you'd be welcome if you didn't play the fool.

When someone addresses you directly, you should respond - in a reasonable timeframe. Yesterday you ignored me for hours - posting all over the place. For that, you're an asshole.

You've been addressed directly again today, by two others. Again you pretend to be above responding. You're not. Tomorrow 10 people will be onto you. By then end of next week you'll be the acknowledged troll.

You want to be included, you gotta get your shit straight. You earn your spurs here - pretentious and obnoxious behavior doesn't cut it.

Put up or fuck off.

#4  Oops that was me, no troll. Let's try again:
MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- As police engaged in a standoff with three suspected North African terrorists Saturday night in a Madrid suburb, an explosion shook the neighborhood. A policeman was killed and six to nine other people were wounded, said a reporter from CNN partner station CNN+, who was on the scene.
The explosion occurred about 9 p.m. (2 p.m. ET). It was originally reported by state radio to be a "controlled explosion," in which police first move everyone back before exploding a bomb they are unable to defuse, CNN+ reporter Oscar Diaz de Liano said. Diaz reported that at 9:45 p.m., at least four ambulances arrived at the scene, in addition to others that were already there.
Antena 3 television reported that the suspects had threatened to blow up the four-story building in the southern Madrid suburb of Leganes, about 10 miles south of the capital.
The police were searching for suspects who may be linked to the Madrid commuter train bombings, the Spanish news media reported. The Web site of a leading Spanish daily newspaper, El Mundo, reported that a number of police officers may have been among the wounded and that a field hospital had been erected on the site. The manhunt began late Saturday in the Leganes suburb of Madrid. Earlier reports from the scene said there was a shootout and the suspects subsequently holed up in the building, which contains about 40 apartments. Two helicopters hovered over it and a large contingent of police surrounded it, Diaz said. Diaz and other witnesses said many people had been evacuated from nearby buildings.
