| Spanish Government Sees Possibility of ETA’s Indirect Collaboration |
| 2004-03-15 |
| Spanish officials have not yet ruled out the possibility of indirect ETA involvement in the Madrid bombings, perhaps through the supply of explosives to Islamic militants. Officials said they were also re-examining an alleged sale of explosives by ETA to the Islamic Resistance Movement, the radical Palestinian group known as Hamas, several years ago in an effort to identify Basque ties to Islamic extremists. ... Yusuf Galan, a Spanish national who was charged in Madrid in November 2001 with involvement with al Qaeda, was a former ETA member who had converted to Islam. |

| #5 What bomb? If there was a bomb it was a bomb of a Spanish nature. You wouldn't understand. I, myself are leaving and going to Key West. Forget what I said about the bulls. I hate most people. |

| #4 Garrison, here are two articles from the archives that may back up your theory - from 3/2 Third arrest in ETA bomb plot (demonstrates that ETA was targetting Madrid with a truckload of explosives.) Also from 1/28 Secret meeting with Eta hits Socialist poll hopes (demonstrates active negotiations between the socialists and ETA/) |

| #2 Indigenous terrorist groups like the ETA have an extensive infrastructure that can be utilized by fellow travelers. Local punks must be eviscerated along with international terrorist groups. The border area between Brazil, Venezuela and Columbia needs immediate attention. |

| #1 When PM Asnar is proven correct in his assertion ETA was involved in the terror bombing of Madrid, will his party be permitted to demand and get a new election.... |
