Interestingly enough both in Swedish and foreign press most so called terrorist experts discounts the possibility of cooperation between Al-Quaeda and ETA.

One thing that's important to keep in mind when talking about Islamic terror groups is- they're not all al Qaeda. I notice a tendency lately to label them all as al Qaeda but this is not accurate. Al Qaeda might not trust ETA enough to work with them, but this isn't to say that other Muslim groups share that same aversion. I could envision a Muslim terror group helping out ETA and at the same time having ties to al Qaeda. This wouldn't link ETA directly to al Qaeda even though they were directly tied to other Muslim groups.

Just throwing it out there.

Good points. Also, another terrorist group--whether Al Qaeda or otherwise--might cultivate a contact in ETA in order to use that group's resources, without ETA as a whole being involved. Lots of possible scenarios to consider there.
