As usual, the innocent end up paying the price for failed policies. It make me sick to my stomach...
Spanish government is doing their best to blame ETA. The bombing doesn't look typical Al Queada as they usually pick targets that have some US/UK symbolism: WTC, Pentagon, UK Embassy Istanbul, Mariott Indonesia. How do trains fit into this? On the otherhand, ETA usually assasins political figures, they are/were not into massmurder. Whichever, somebody has changed its tactics.
