  Press Release:
However, in Venezuela an altered version of the article was distributed, in which someone has added references to the Venezuelan firm Cavim and to the Venezuelan government.
While the original article does mention Titadine, it says nothing about its origin.
One Spanish official who spoke on the condition he not be named said the dynamite-like explosive used in the attacks, Titadine, had been used before by ETA, which stands for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, or Basque Homeland and Freedom.

 Al Qaeda's Death Train? :: Articles by IPT :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism
Moreover, less than three weeks ago, a van allegedly belonging to ETA was seized en route to Madrid carrying 66 pounds of Titadine and an additional 1,100 pounds of explosive.
Titadine, a dynamite-like substance, has been used previously by ETA in its campaign of terrorism--and statements by authorities reveal that the Madrid attacks were caused by packs of Titadine reinforced with PETN or a plastic explosive, each device weighing around 20-25 pounds.
Though the Titadine link seems compelling on its face, police added that the detonators used in the Madrid bombings were made of copper--not the typical aluminum ones favored by ETA.

 Guardian | Eta 'sold Hamas bombers dynamite'
The explosives apparently came from a haul of eight tonnes of dynamite stolen from a Titadine factory in Plevin, Brittany, in September 1999.
Eta, reportedly concerned that it could no longer store the ageing Titadine safely, replenished its explosive supplies with a second raid in France in March this year.
The raid was carried out at an explosives warehouse near Grenoble by eight masked gunmen who stole 1.6 tonnes of dynamite and 20,000 detonators.

 Conspiracy Theories
The mystery began when a policeman used his mobile phone to call his superiors and for some reason mentioned "Titadine" as being the explosive used.
This was strange as Titadine leaves a distinctive smell and that was not present at any of the Madrid bombings.
It also helped the Partido Popular to some extent in that Titadine is the explosive most used by the Basque Terror group ETA, and it was this that led to the Interior Minister at the time — Angel Acebes - stating that ETA was behind the attacks.

 AFI Research - MILNET Mirror
ETA and the BRA or Breton Revolutionary army are known to have staged armed attacks to acquire weapons, including eight tons of Titadine explosives stolen from a factory at Plevin in Brittany in September 1999 and explosives and more than 20,000 detonators obtained through a raid in Grenoble this year.
Though French security forces recovered some of the Titadine from the BRA, some 5 tons were retained by ETA, some of which has been reportedly passed on to the Palestinian militant group, Hamas.
Israeli security sources have made it plain that while they are aware of the raised level of co-operation between terrorist groups, they are surprised at Hamas importing explosives when so much is being made available by the Syrians and Iraqis.
