Spain joined the UK/US in Iraq. Al Qaeda may have hated Saddam, but they want the Iraqi people on their side.
Quote:
They are trying to tell Spainish people "is being in Iraq worth turning your country into a combat zone."

Another mistake on my behalf: It wasn't ETA's "political wing" that blamed "the Arab resistance", it was leader of the banned Basque freedom party Batasuna, Arnaldo Otegi, who also denied Basque involvement.
"The Basque pro-independence left wishes to express the most absolute rejection of what happened today in Madrid. Indiscriminate actions against civilians, against workers... are absolutely and firmly rejected."
