#1 The article fails to mention that this guy became member of the Spanish Socialist Party jsu one month after the bombings.

It also fails to mention the suspicious friendship of a local big cheese of the Socialist Party towards a member of the GIA (those who perpetrate horrendous massacres in Algers), visiting him in prison and paying for his dental care. That islamist was noticed by ETA people for his ruthleness and that same Islamist, our socialist was so fond of, had frequent contacts with the leader of the 3/11 bombers. It also happens that our socialist owns a mining company and thus has access to explosives.

#2 Thanks for filling in the gaps, JFM. Curioser and curioser. So far the only trial in this case is that of the 16-year old kid "El Gitanillo" charged with transporting the explosives.

Any chance you have the name of the Socialista?

#4 Sobiesky it is not just rumors.

You can get more info at http://libertaddigital.com/

It is an electronic daily linked to COPE the second Spanish radio network. Today's editorial
http://libertaddigital.com/opiniones/opi_desa_23844.html
comments about it but you could look at the archives after Wednesday.

You could also take a look have http://elmundo.es who comments about it. El Mundo is a traditional newspaper who has an elevctronic edition. About a year ago it was El Mundo who reported many vcurious things about the hours and days following the bombings. If you remember well the government lost the elections in no small part for having lied and tried to hide that bit was islamists instead of ETA, but it looks like the police deliberately fed wrong information to the governemnt or delayed communicating it for enough time to make the governemnt look like caught lying. And El Mundo also reported about extensive cntacts between ETA and Al Quaida.

Note: You have to hurry for El Mundo since it looks like they don't keep archives of their electronic edition.

Note2: Libertad Digital is pro-America and pro-Bush. El Mundo is anti-Bush but is not in the hand of Prisa (the Socialist-friendly MSM group who manipulated the public opinion before the elections).

In case you want to google about teh Arabs don't forget that their names are transcriptions who sound about right when read in Spanish ie they would be spelled differently in English
