Madrid bombs donât match ETA MO - Europol head
The simultaneous bomb blasts that ripped through commuter trains in Madrid on Thursday did not bear the hallmarks of Basque separatist group ETA, the head of the European Unionâs police agency said. "It could have been ETA... But weâre dealing with an attack that doesnât correspond to the âmodus operandiâ they have adopted up to now," said Europol director Juergen Storbeck, who was in Rome to talk to an Italian parliamentary committee. "In the past ETA has always attacked individuals, and if they saw any danger for the public they gave a warning... Itâs not yet clear they were the authors," Italian news agency Ansa quoted him as saying. Despite Spainâs recent successes against ETA, "there could still be other cells that have not been brought under control and could have become more extremist," he said.
