	ipedia.com: 11 March 2004 Madrid attacks Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The 11 March 2004 Madrid attacks (also known as 11/3, 3/11 and 11-M) were a series of coordinated terrorist bombings against the commuter train system of Madrid, Spain on the morning of 11 March 2004, which killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800.
		Although ETA has a history of mounting bomb attacks in Madrid, planting delayed-action bombs to kill rescue workers and using booby traps (such as explosives in wallets), as well as also having attempted to attack trains, the 11 March attacks were on a scale far exceeding anything previously attempted by a European terrorist organisation.
		On the evening of 11 March, Acebes told a news conference that a van, stolen on February 28 and containing several detonators and an Arabic-language cassette tape with Koranic verses, had been found in the town of Alcalá de Henares, where three of the four bombed trains originated and all four stopped.

	USATODAY.com - Madrid train bombings probe finds no al-Qaeda link (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		MADRID (AP) — A two-year probe into the Madrid train bombings concludes the Islamic terrorists who carried out the blasts were homegrown radicals acting on their own rather than at the behest of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, two senior intelligence officials said.
		While the plotters of the Madrid attack were likely motivated by bin Laden's October 2003 call for attacks on European countries that supported the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, there is no evidence they were in contact with the al-Qaeda leader's inner circle, the intelligence official said.
		At least two Spanish citizens — including March 11 suspect Mohammed Afalah — are believed to have blown themselves up in Iraq, and an investigation by the respected El Pais daily revealed some 80 others have traveled to the country in recent months intending to do the same.

		That is a far cry from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States — allegedly planned by al-Qaida leaders like Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh and funded directly by the terror network through international wire transfers and Islamic banking schemes.

		When Felipe protested after the train bombings in Madrid, that was the first time that anyone in the royal family had publicly protested anything.

		Michael Radu, the smoke had hardly cleared after the bombings when the leading lights of Spain's national government were pointing their fingers solidly at ETA, the Basque separatist organization.
		On the other hand, ETA usually did not engage in massive slaughter of civilians, and certainly not in an area which is mostly working class like the one around the train station in Madrid.
		And insofar as the Islamists are concerned, al-Qaida did take credit for operations which had little or nothing to do before, but on the other hand it's of course perfectly capable of organizing and doing such well-coordinated operations, as this one proved to be.

		PORTLAND — The day before Brandon Mayfield was wrongly arrested on suspicion of involvement in the March 2004 Madrid train bombings, an FBI official stated in an e-mail that the agency did not have enough evidence to arrest the Portland attorney on criminal charges.
		In her e-mail, Steele wrote to a colleague — whose name is fled out — that Mayfield, whom she describes as a "Muslim convert and attorney,'' had been "tied'' by a fingerprint to the March 11, 2004, Madrid attacks, which killed 191 people and injured more than 1,500.
		Such use of the material witness law "raises constitutional problems,'' he said, because the person can be held for long periods of time without access to legal protections that come with a normal arrest — the right to a bail hearing, for instance.
