There Is Some History Here...
It is way to early to speculate about the group or groups responsible for today's bombing in Madrid, but some indications are now emerging of possible Al Qaeda involvement. Spain's support for the war in Iraq and the broader war against terrorism have been cited as possible reasons for Al Qaeda to choose it as a target.
It should also be noted that Spain holds a special place in the heart of the radical Islamist as well, for it once was almost entirely under Muslim control. To us, the glory days of Andalusia are an almost forgotten part of the past. To the Islamist, the shame of the Reconquista is yet another Western (Crusader) insult waiting to be avenged.
