Note to Jose Zapatero: how’s that plan for appeasing the jihadis going?
Bomb Found on Spanish High-Speed Rail Track.
MOCEJON, Spain (Reuters) - A bomb was found on a Spanish high-speed rail track Friday and state radio reported it contained the same type of dynamite used in suspected al Qaeda bombs that killed 191 people on Madrid trains last month.
The discovery disrupted travel as millions of Spaniards prepared to leave cities for the Easter week vacation and came on the day a new session of Parliament opened following last month’s elections.
The bomb and the discovery Thursday evening of three letter bombs addressed to media outlets kept nerves on edge in Spain after the March 11 train attacks.
Interior Minister Angel Acebes said the latest bomb was believed to contain 22 to 26 pounds of explosives connected by a long cable to a detonator. He gave no information about who may have planted the bomb.
State radio said an initial examination indicated the dynamite used was Goma 2 Eco — the same kind used in the Madrid blasts.
The bomb was found in a bag under the rails of the high-speed train line connecting Madrid and the southern city of Seville. It was spotted by a railway employee about 35 miles south of Madrid, near Toledo.
