About 10 bombs went off in four different trains, almost simultaneously, at three train stations.

ETA was first blamed, but an Arabic-language newspaper in London said it received an e-mail claim of responsibility in the name of al Qaeda from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade.

The Spanish governemt still has ETA as it's prime suspect, but there are also several other proofs that can link it to Al-Qaeda.
ETA has officially denied that they were behind the bombings.
The bombs that were used, were also a bit more advanced than the ones normally used by ETA.
The terrorist attack happened exactly 2 and a half year after the 11. Sept attacks in USA, this is 912 days after the attack on USA.
(It could actually be 911(!) days after if we didn't have a 29 February this year!)


This has already been called 311, the Spanish 911........
