#1 Agreed. Al-Queda claimed responcibility in a newspaper today and described the targets as trains. The newspapers are still writing about the ETA...rantburg is just too fast!

#3 Not so fast. ETA was caught (by a tipoff I think) attempting the same thing last December - multiple bombs in commuter train baggage compartments. If that had gone through we would have been saying all this three months ago.

There was also the half-ton of explosives intercepted last month. ETA had never played with so much explosive before.

Someone in ETA could well have decided to play by different rules.

#4 Or, there could be an alliance of convenience between multiple groups.

What is clear (to me at least) is that all of these groups pose a serious threat to civilized life.
