#1 Spanish authorities arrested a group of seven suspects, six men and one woman, Friday morning accused of providing financial support to the Algerian organization, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, allegedly affiliated to Al Qaeda.

Allegedly? ALLEGEDLY??

Are we back to square one here?

#2 She added that her mother's detained friend worked in a car-rental office near Malaga airport.

That's interesting. If you have a friend in the car rental business, it gives you the ability to have a car with no trace - or to switch some paperwork around and hide all kinds of things. Clever.

Better than that, 2b. Consider:

The sources added that the suspects were involved in petty crimes such as forging documents and credit cards, drug dealing, and car theft.

You need to have a credit card to rent a car. What better place to "steal" credid card numbers. Few people suspect rental cars as being stolen. Change plates with a rental car, drive a stolen car just about anywhere. Cars are always coming in and leaving a rental car place. What a perfect place to switch things around. I think every nation needs to do some sharp thinking about the rental car business, and how secure (or not) it might be.

#4 gotta give them credit. The evil little bastards are clever.
