You mean appeasement to Islamoterrorists doesn't work? I'm shocked.

They seem to have found a bomb with 10k of dynamite in a bag under the tracks where the AVE (high speed Madrid-Sevilla train) runs through Toledo. An employee noticed it.

They're inspecting all of the track now. This is from preliminary reports, so all the details may not be available yet.

The bombs in Spain fall mainly on the train.

Sound's like an attempt to gently convince the government to release the peaceful Morrocans, Syrians, Jordanians and other Muslims wrongfully accused of comitting crimes against humanity. (Every good Muslim knows that non-muslims are not human)

MADRID, Spain - Police found a bomb Friday on a high-speed rail line between Madrid and Seville, Interior Minister Angel Acebes said.

Bomb-disposal experts alerted by a railway employee found 22-24 pounds of dynamite under the rail line about 40 miles south of Madrid on the rail line running to Seville, Acebes said.

The explosives were connected to a detonator with a 430-foot cable, the minister told a news conference.

He said it was not immediately known who placed the bomb.

Appeasement is red meat to a terrorist. But then, you can't expect socialists to ever understand that fact.

Stay safe livius. Will this make any impressions on the citizens, do you think?

This is the day that the Spanish leave town for Holy Week vacations (a lot of people from Madrid go back to whatever provincial places they came from, and a lot of people go to Sevilla for the Holy Week processions, etc.).

The trains are apparently packed with passengers. Right now all the AVES have been halted and rail traffic on the Madrid-Sevilla route has been shut down.

It will be interesting to see if it makes an impact. Many Spaniards already regret their vote, so this could be significant.

I can hear the conspiricisits howling now that it was a CIA planted bomb or some such nonsense to scare the socialists into having some backbone.

Well, this time we can honestly say the Spanish people got what they asked for.

As H.L. Mencken said (in the Jazz Webster):

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

I'm shocked, shocked, that Spanish trains are targets so soon after they rolled over.
