JERUSALEM POST: Report: Madrid terrorists planned to bomb mall

Terrorists who blew themselves up last weekend as police moved in to arrest them over the March 11 bombings had been plotting an imminent attack on a sprawling shopping center outside Madrid, a newspaper reported Thursday.

Police combing through the apartment found evidence that included maps of Parquesur, a retail and leisure complex less than a mile (1.6-kilometer) from the apartment in the town of Leganes, El Mundo said, quoting police.

The police also found at least two backpacks and a belt, all packed with dynamite and wired to detonators, the paper said.

Interior Ministry officials were not available to comment on the report.

Prime Minister elect Zapatero had better wake up to the fact that you can't pacify these people by appeasing them.

Yeah....he what's the deal? I thought if you appeased these islamic fundamentalfux, they'd leave you alone. You could live in harmony with these wonderful folks.......

There is a link in one of the stories on War in Iraq that will take you to the Brotherhood of Islam. Very interesting read. We are going to need the liberal fux to stay the hell out of our way. We have a very difficult mission ahead of us.

It's kinda ironic, the very people that stand in our way when we are defending ourselves and trying to stop these terrorists, are the very ones that the Islamics hate so much. These liberal, Bush hating, troop undermining, anti_American, poor excuses for human beings, should try and spread their liberal beliefs around the ME awhile and test the water...........but just a tip from your Uncle Lar, 'they'll shoot you dead the first time you open your mouth'.

The Conlezza Rice inquiry appears to be more of a pop crate for the witch hunters to stand on and spew their views. One good point that was brought up, was that 'this is in reality a war against Islam. Terrorism is just the tool that Islam uses.'

Condi just blew one of the witch hunters out of the water by remembering a speech that particular witch hunter gave back at the time of the Cole.

Damn she's sharp. The witch hunters are throwing knives at her and she's using a 50 cal.
