Spain Spooks Say It Was Al Quaeda, not ETA:

(Note that the following info comes from Spanish private radio stationn SER, whose owners have links to the opposition Socialist Party)

"Spain's intelligence service is '99 percent certain' that radical Muslims and not the Basque separatist group ETA are responsible for train bombings that killed 200 people, a Spanish radio station said on Saturday.

Private radio SER... said the National Intelligence Center (CNI) believes the evidence points to an Islamic group, and that 10 to 15 people left bombs on the trains and fled.

'The evidence has wiped out previous indications that led us to believe in ETA,' the radio quoted one of its sources as saying.

Interior Minister Angel Acebes told a press conference: 'If it (is believed to be) al Qaeda, no authorities from the state security forces have told me.'"
