Suddenly the blame shifts from Basque to Al Queda

Detonators and Koran conveniently found in nearby Van

But the discovery of seven detonators and an Arabic tape in a van parked near Madrid, plus a purported al Qaeda letter claiming responsibility...

The bombs were set off by mobile phone and contained copper detonators, which are not generally used by armed Basque separatist group ETA.

Arab bomber also spotted ---- "He wore three layers of underwear and was closely shaven, which is common for Arab suicide commandos who because of their faith usually do this before immolating themselves."

Muslims threaten " Winds of death " on entire world

Straight out of a Hollywood movie

"We have succeeded in infiltrating the heart of crusader Europe," the letter said, calling the bombings at three Madrid railway stations "Operation Death Trains."

"We bring the good news to Muslims of the world that the expected 'Winds of Black Death' strike against America is now in its final stage," it added.

U.S. intelligence agencies say Muslims will  attack countries such as Spain that supported the U.S.-led war in Iraq Fears that Al-Qaeda was behind the Madrid blasts grew after a video was found Saturday in which a man speaking Arabic claimed the attacks in the name of the Islamic fundamentalist network.

Video tape found at Mosque

Translation

"We declare our responsibility for what happened in Madrid exactly 2 1/2 years after the attacks on New York and Washington. It is a response to your collaboration with the criminals Bush and his allies. "

"You love life and we love death, which gives an example of what the Prophet Muhammad said. If you don't stop your injustices, more and more blood will flow and these attacks will seem very small compared to what can occur in what you call terrorism. "

Spain's Leader

Spain's new socialist Prime Minister José Zapatero ( Jewish ) has made it plain that the government's position is that the tragedy that killed 192 that those responsible were international Islamic terrorists. He rejected any possibility that Eta Basque separatists might have been involved.
