Madrid

[mandragora]

Was it ETA, or was it Al Qaeda?

I note that the political wing of ETA denies responsibility. The scale and organisation of the attack suggests Al Qaeda. Spain was one of the few countries to support the US and UK's actions in Iraq.

Whoever is responsible as of writing 173 people are known to have died in Madrid today.

Oh, it's horrific. When I first looked at the news it said 62 people had died, and now the number of dead has nearly tripled.

Yes, it's the worst terrorist incident in Europe in living memory. I used to live in Gibraltar and as a result have spent a lot of time in Spain, which is a country I love.

This is very upsetting.
