Today Spain has suffered what is probably the biggest act of terrorism in its history: three trains/stations have been hit by bombs placed by the ETA terrorsit group causing a massacre. No offcial figures of casualties have been released, but they will be in the dozens, not to mention the wounded..

It is a sad day...

Sorry about this post, but I live in Barcelona and have lots of friends in Madrid (where the bombs were placed) and I needed to express my disgust at what has happened here...

If you have a moment, please say a prayer for the families of those who have died and for those who are wounded.

All the best and keep well...

Paul.

I have friends in Spain, too.
This was indeed a shameless act of stupidity and arrogance. My heart goes out to the victims.
Sincerely,

"they do not have the ability either logistically or financially to conduct operations within a theatre of war against an opponent especially the US"

Oh I get it, so its okay to do it! I am so tired of hearing these bizzare rationalizations for acts of brutalization that are normally based upon a groups sense that they know what the truth is and the rest of us don't!

My condolences to all my friends in Madrid.
