About ETA, I’m not sure I’ve understood you. Since that wasn’t their (ETA’s) work, what kind of ETA victory are we talking about here 🙂 ?
I suspect, Spain’s government would like to use anything to further their fight against ETA, any pretext–and plus, of course, I’m sure you remember that there was a huge public uproar against sending troops to Iraq: so again, it would be less harmful to the government (politically) if the bombs were ETA’s rather than al qaeda’s (sp?). This way it came out like a huge “I told you so” kinda deal.
