March 11th Spanish bombings follow-up

[fantastic flying froggies]

Following the horrible bombing last march 11th in Madrid, Spanish Police and special forces surrounded suspects yesterday, who blew themselves up rather than surrender. At least, the fuckers won't make anymore bombs... Congrats to the Spanish police on catching the guys so quickly...

Here's a link to the Yahoo story.

On a side note, if anybody can find the video, it is pretty impressive. You see a whole part of the building exploding while the police is creeping in...

To our spanish members : any extra news ? the info here in France was pretty widely reported, but with not many facts...

More bad news today, a letter has been sent to one of the bigger newspapers here in Spain. The terrorists say that they give us 3 weeks to retire our troops from Iraq, else Spain will become a new hell.

I really hope that our new goberment won't acept that or they will feel stronger. Our police is doing an amazing work, 25 terrorist are in prison since 11-M and 5 more blowed themselves yesterday when the police had them surrounded. The worst news are that they had bomb belts ready to be used, so they could try to blow themselves into public places. Spanish citicens are becomming more and more against muslims and if things continue this way i suspect that some Spanish will start to hit muslims as was done at "El Ejido" some years ago when a mulsim killed a Spanish guy and the whole town started to attack the muslims as they where tired of laws not being properly applied.

Racism and hate only makes things worst, but my opinion and also of all the people i talk about this that laws must become much harder, by now Europe democracies are a paradise for the terrorists as we are not ready for ths kind of threat. Spanish inmigration laws are so soft, it's so easy to enter in Spain and we should become more restrictive like USA or Japan.

Also, don't forget that now, you just need to enter the European Union , and then you're free to go anywhere you want within the Union. No more borders...

I've travelled quite a bit in Europe, and when you see the customs at european entry points, you know it's all a big joke...

French police also arrested 15 people today, supposedly involved in the bombing attacks in Morocco, late last year I believe.

It's about time we started hunting all those fuckers... I am convinced that our security departements know exactly where they usually are, but are just content to sit back and monitor them while waiting for them to strike, rather than just arresting them.

Well. I was near when the blast happened (I was in fuenlabrada). I think the police is doing a great work, but I fear it is not over yet.
