actually- al queda is accepting responsible for this- it had all the signs of them... i was pretty apprehensive to believe it was them- but ETA completely denied responsibility for it- and the pres at the time was saying it was ETA and the elections were to be held in 3 days- as a result- the socialist party was voted in by a wide majority... (not sure the politics behind this- i'm still reading reports- i just heard about this story on my way to class when i saw someone reading the paper on the tube (the subway here).... apparently the new president is threatening to pull troops out of iraq because of the threat of another attack unless the UN intervenes... also- i heard that al queda threatened japan with attack if they intervened in the middle east... something is up here... there are guards all over the tube and a massive campaign to keep everything under control and there are travel alerts all over europe for americans...i'll post more as i know it...
here's the link to the iraq thing:
