Could be some politics involved, but would the Spanish Goverment really play games with lying about this kid of situation?

I'm of two opinions about this.....
1) The Spanish government stands to lose a lot if it was Al Queda, they supported Bush even though 90% of the population was against it.... so if the people are now being targeted by Al Queda as a result the government gets burnt. So fingering the ETA for it avoids a lot of messy politics and ruined careers.
-or-
2) The Spansih government is looking to finally crush any remaining support for the ETA; and with millions of people out in the streets protesting the violence that could be a very real possiblity. But this opinion requires you to believe that Al Queda did it and the Spanish government is capable of such cynical actions.
