Spain Seizes Islamic Militants Suspected of Plot

Mon Oct 18, 6:20 PM ET

World - Reuters

MADRID (Reuters) - Police arrested seven suspected Islamic militants in raids across Spain on Monday to foil a planned bomb attack on the High Court, judicial sources said.



The arrests came seven months after train bombs killed 191 people in Madrid.

The seven suspects, including four Algerians and one Moroccan, were arrested in the southern region of Andalusia, the Mediterranean city of Valencia and Madrid.

Further arrests could be made in the coming hours as part of the operation against a radical and violent Muslim network, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.

Crusading Judge Baltasar Garzon ordered the arrests as part of his inquiry into Islamic militant cells in Spain.

The suspects had been in contact with other individuals in Europe, the United States and Australia, the statement said.

That tends to happen when you allow your enemies to scare you into doing what they want you to do. Once you let them get a foothold and show them that you are easily swayed they OWN you. I am not surprised at all.

And they thought the Basque Seperatists gave them a hard time. They ain't seen nothin' yet.

After the Madrid bombings in March an Islamic spokesman declared, "We want our beloved Andelusia back."

That says it all.

My words for Spain come from the head tech guy in Jurassic Park: "Hold on to your ass."

A couple of weeks ago I read an article by a Morrocan Jew who was in Spain and had dinner with some Morrocans.  He asked them if the Spanish people had been hospitable and the Arabs said "We don't care, this will be our country soon."

Too bad that the Spainards didn't have the wisdom and moral fortitude to see this coming. They laid down and are will be getting rolled over soon.

Spain handed them a victory and they will keep coming back for more until they get their ass kicked.
