Al-Qaeda behind Madrid massacre?

Al-Qaeda behind Madrid massacre? One piece of evidence I've only seen mentioned in Norway is a document a terrorist research group at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment found on an Islamist website. The document surveys strategies for forcing the coalition out of Iraq. It mentions Spain as a convenient target, and the election this week as a convenient time to carry it out

And how is this thread different from this Al Qaeda thread
of a few hours ago ... ? The blog link itself is hardly best of the web.

Maybe it was the Homo/Islamofascist Alliance.

The complete text
With this advisory:
It should be noted that the Abu Hafs Al-Masri Brigades claimed responsibility for the August 2003 blackout in the U.S. (which was a large-scale technical failure), calling it "Operation Quick Lightning in the Land of the Tyrant of This Generation."

Operation Quick Lightning in the Land of the Tyrant of This Generation

Thanks for the link homunculus, I found it rather amusing but then again some will see this warping of the truth as a call to arms.
