From MSNBC's report - "On Thursday, police in northern Spain on Thursday defused three letter bombs addressed to journalists in Madrid.".

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

Probably ETA. We know Muslims wouldn't do anything that nasty.

Explosive device found on Spanish rail track

MADRID, April 2 (Reuters) - A bomb was found on a high-speed train track near the Spanish city of Toledo on Friday just weeks after 191 people were killed in suspected al Qaeda bombings of four packed Madrid commuter trains.

Interior Minister Angel Acebes said the bomb, believed to contain between 10 and 12 kgs (22 and 26 lbs) of explosives, was found in a bag under the rails.

The explosives were connected by a cable to a detonator, he told a news conference.

A railway employee spotted the bag and alerted authorities who sent explosives experts to the scene.

Services on the prestigious AVE train service linking Madrid and the southern city of Seville were halted while all the track was checked, Acebes said.

He gave no information about who may be responsible for planting the explosives.

The incident disrupted travel as millions of Spaniards prepared to leave cities for the Easter week holidays. Seville draws huge crowds for its Easter processions.

The bomb was found as tensions in Spain were still running high after the bombings of four Madrid trains last month. Two of the trains exploded at or near Madrid's Atocha station, which is also the terminus for AVE services to Seville.

The bomb was found as members of parliament elected in Spain's March 14 election took their seats in Madrid. The Socialists ousted the ruling Popular Party in an election upset three days after the March 11 bombings.

But but but, Spain surrended to al-Qaeda?

Why is al-Qaeda being so mean????

---

Spain will learn to regret surrendering to the terrorists. Terrorists lie.

The Spanish chose appeasement. We can't afford to choose it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The average person understands the message that terrorism cannot be appeased. But the liberals STILL don't get it.

[samtheman]

Fox News talking about this right now.

This bomb found near the town of Toledo. Where suspects have been arrested in the Madrid bombing case.

Train travel paralyzed.

Isn't that a shame.

[anniegetyourgun]

To journos, eh? Well, well....perhaps the terrorists were offended that they didn't get "hero" treatment in the Spanish press after 3/11. I fully expect the Spanish press to raise the white flag.

[freedomcrusader]

Well, it's already been said on this thread, and proven by history about 1000 times, but I'll repeat it anyway:

APPEASEMENT DOESN'T WORK, YOU STUPID SPANISH CHICKEN LITTLES!!!!!!!

[MrB]

you can't expect socialists to ever understand that fact

To even be a socialist you have to deny reality, so what's the surprise.

[livius]

They were sent to conservative journalists - among them, the radio station COPE, which is actually owned by the Spanish Bishops Conference, and the newspaper La Razón, which is a conservative newspaper.

So I suppose it could be plain old Spanish lefties, rather than Al Qaeda, behind this one.

Vast throngs of Spanish voters in the Socialist camps must be thinking to themselves:

"You....you....mean....they..WWWWWW.....WON'T..stop the terrorism on us? Wha...wha..but...but....but...we offered to pull out of Iraq....they...wo..wo...wo..won't leave us alone???????"

They'll get more and more --- until they fully submit to the Koran and are living under and obeying Sharia law.

[battousai]

To the cowards of Spain who voted to increase terror for all the other nations of Europe and the world:

Haaa haaaa

[steveegg]

So I suppose it could be plain old Spanish lefties, rather than Al Qaeda, behind this one.

Ah, the "tolerant" left. They're not all that different no matter what side of the Atlantic (or Pacific, for that matter) they're on.

The bane in Spain kills mainly on the train.

How dare they! El Squid will get angry.

Just exactly what I was going to post. What a shocking morning the appeasers must be having.
