| Letter bombs intercepted in Spain | |
| 2004-04-01 | |
Three letter bombs addressed to media outlets in Madrid have been intercepted at a postal sorting office in northern Spain, police said. They say police experts defused at least two of the three devices, which were set to explode when opened. The letters were found at the postal centre in Zaragoza, which was evacuated following the alert. The discovery comes almost three weeks after the 11 March train bombings in Madrid, in which 190 people died. The letter bombs were addressed to the newspaper La Razon, the radio station Cope and Antena 3 television, Spanish state radio said.

| #6 Sadly, Spain doesn't seem to realize that unless all your women are wearing burkhas and the menfolk are crammed into a local mosque, those bombs are just going to keep on coming. Buy all the time you want with whatever sort of roll-over belly up tactics, all it does is put you a little lower on the list of targets. Once those have been bombed, you're back in the crosshairs. It should be obvious by now that Islamic fanatics could give a shit who helped them five minutes ago. If they've cleared their plate, even the most generous non-Muslim patrons instantly become the next target. Israel had to learn this the hard way with Hamas, as did America with bin Laden. |

| #5 They could argue the technicality that the troops aren't out yet, or that the promise isn't iron-clad, or that they want them out NOW. |

| #1 Not necessarily. If their postal service is like ours, they could have been mailed before the 11th. |
