	elmundo.es - Eduardo Fungairiño dice que no ha conocido hasta ahora la existencia de la furgoneta de Alcalá
		Sus respuestas provocaron la incredulidad del parlamentario del PNV Emilio Olabarria, quien tildó de "inverosímil" su relato y la "gran preocupación" de la diputada de Nafarroa-Bai, Uxue Barkos, ante la posibilidad de que el fiscal jefe de la Audiencia Nacional desconociera la existencia de uno de los elementos clave para orientar la investigación.
		Esa "sospecha vehemente" la mantuvo hasta la tarde del 13 de marzo -entre las 18.00 y las 21.00 horas-, cuando, según su relato, la fiscal le informó de que la Policía había solicitado intervenciones telefónicas y registros domiciliarios que posiblemente llevaran a la detención de sospechosos islamistas.
		El fiscal también sostuvo que hasta el 13 de marzo pensaba que la actividad del terrorismo islamista en España era "de segunda categoría" y que se orientaba fundamentalmente a tareas de apoyo a los islamistas en Francia, vio ante los primeros indicios de la autoría del atentado de Madrid que sus conclusiones estaban equivocadas.
