The wages of pulling out of Swamp Draining -

MADRID, Spain - A radical Muslim cell broken up by Spanish police had been plotting to bomb the National Court, a hub of Spain’s investigations of Islamic terrorism, the interior minister said Tuesday.

... “They were talking about an attack on the High Court or another judicial body but police are not ruling out other possible targets,” Alonso said, adding that no explosives were found during the arrests.

...Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported the plan involved detonating a truck containing 1,100 pounds of explosives outside the courthouse, located on a busy avenue in downtown Madrid.

...“We claim responsibility for the Madrid attacks, two and half years after the blessed conquests of New York and Washington,” the Arabic-speaking man said, according to Telecinco’s translation.

Somehow, I'm sure more than a few Spaniards will still blame Bush.
