Al Queda has to be involved somehow.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

Just watching the TV, I think they may have found some Arbaic language Koranic Verse tapes with the attackers..."When all else fails, a pigheaded refusal to look facts in the face will see us through." -- General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett

For who? I'd think the Spanish government would prefer it be the ETA. An alliance between the ETA and Al-Qaeda would scare the hell out of them.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

Apparently Al-Qaeda just claimed responsibility. We'll have to wait and see if the evidence backs them up.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

Danish National Television's website reports that a tape containing the verses in Arabic, along with the detonators were found in a previously stolen van parked in the town of Alcal de Henares, east of Madrid. 3 of the bombed trains departed from Alcal de Henares, while a fourth made a stopover at the station.
Emperor Fab gave some good reasons why this would appear to be the work of Al Quada, along with the point I mentioned earlier about the attacks occuring exactly 30 months after 9/11.
But we'll know soon enough I think.

Political arm of the ETA says it is not responsible, and claims islamic terrorists are. But maybe they just try avoid a strong reaction....
Perhaps the political arm has different goals than the extremist elements in ETA?
Somewhat similar developments occurred between the IRA and Sein Fein(sp).

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

An islamic organisation has sent a letter to an english newspaper claiming to be responsible of the attack.
