#1 2 or 3? Ha! They didn't realize what cowards the Spanish people were. It only took 1.

#2 Bjorn Staerk had that last week.

Wonder if it'll get play there.

#3 The Spaniards will be fine. A few bad waves won't change the tide.

#4 I'd tend to pick door #1 - "Islamic fundamentalists with support from ETA". ETA is a small group, and they're red hot in Spain, so it's real hard (and dangerous) for them to pull off any big ops. Names and faces too well known.

The Islamists can pull off the op, but need logistical support, which ETA can supply. Possibly even the plan was from ETA, but I'd doubt it. I'd want my OWN plan, rather than taking somebody's word on "this will work".

And ETA has been training in AQ-related camps.

Congratulations: It's a monster.
