If you still don't understand how terrorism serves the best interests of the war and petrol makers and the example above shows that they don't hesitate to influence directly the terror events even if causing MILLIONS DEATHS well let's continue the hypocrisis and above welcome to the new terror era : like buble it can only inflate in the future.

ETA tried to bomb Madrid train stations twice in the past few months, but were foiled in both instances. It seems a reasonable assumption that it was them again.
Its probably ETA and it has nothing to do with the top of the staock market. Sunday is election day in Spain. Less than two weeks ago police arrested two suspected ETA members who were heading for Madrid with a van containing 500 kg (1,100 lbs) of explosives.
