14 Jihadists Arrested in Spain, Suspected of Planning Attack

What? I thought Spain got a Free Pass from al Qaeda and all of the other 2,483 jihadist terror organizations in the world when they all turned yella and voted the pansy President into office that withdrew all troops from Iraq? You don't mean....you couldn't mean....did al Qaeda lie? You mean they actually will still try and follow through on a multi century vendetta to reclaim Spain? Welcome to the real world Spain - the world of good, the world of evil.

The arrests of the 14 in Barcelona turned up a bunch of "paraphanalia" like timers and such but it is Spain after all, so don't be surprised to see these guys walk in a couple of days.

Here's the full story.

MADRID, Spain (AP) - Fourteen suspected Islamic militants arrested in Spain on Saturday may have been planning a terrorist action in Barcelona, the interior minister said.
Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said more arrests were expected and the country was on high security alert. He said overnight searches of the suspects' homes unearthed four timers.
"When someone has timers at home you have no option but to think violent acts are being planned," he said.
The arrests in Barcelona were prompted by information from several European intelligence agencies, and there was evidence the suspects—12 Pakistani nationals and two people from India—could have been planning "a terrorist action" in the northern city, he told a news conference.
Civil Guard officers made the arrests as part of raids planned with the National Intelligence Center, the Spanish equivalent of the CIA, Rubalcaba said.
Europe's worst Islamic-linked terror attack took place in Spain on March 11, 2004, when bombs went off in railway carriages during the morning rush hour near Madrid's Atocha station. The attack killed 191 people injured more than 1,800. Twenty-one people have been convicted of involvement in that attack.
