After a two-year probe into the Madrid train bombings it seems there is no connection to al-Qaida and the tragedy was most likely orchestrated by Spain's own radical element. There is no evidence of communication or money transfers that would indicate direction by al-Qaida.
Most of the participants were drug traffickers with criminal records and they paid for their explosives with hashish. Although they may have been motivated by Osama bin Laden’s call for attacks on European countries that supported the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, there is no evidence to prove that there was any contact.
Certainly, this would seem to show how long and drawn out this conflict will continue to be. The elimination of Osama will only inspire these lunatics to kill with greater enthusiasm. The civilized world must dig in for a protracted and ugly war against enemies hidden around the globe but, it a war that must be won or a new Dark Age will fall upon us.
