Evidence points both ways on Spain blast
The dynamite is an ETA (here) signature. The multiple bombs are an AQ signature. Investigation continues.
A real testimony to the evils that fundamentalists—whether nationalist or religious—can do. Bastards.
And thank God the bombs were only dynamite (back here).
The Interior Ministry said tests showed the explosives used in the attacks were a kind of dynamite normally used by ETA.
The bombers used titadine, a kind of compressed dynamite also found in a bomb-laden van intercepted last month as it headed for Madrid, a source at Aznar's office said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Officials blamed ETA then, too.
In a break with past ETA tactics, there were multiple attacks and no advance warning. ETA has usually gone after one target at a time and the largest casualty toll was 21 killed in 1987.
