Details on how the Spanish police are tracking the bombers.

If it was indeed related to al Qaeda, the Spain bombing will have problems
for the government. Although 90% of the Spanish population opposed the Bush
attack on Iraq, the Aznar government went ahead and joined Bush in the war.

Fully a quarter of the population of Spain came out in street marches to
mourn the victims. The government declared three days of mourning.

In contrast, there was no official mourning in the USA after 9.11. Instead,
Rumsfeld, Cheney, and others backslapped with each with gleeful grins at an
event at the Pentagon.

One can assume that the UK will be an upcoming target.
