Breaking on CNNI ~ Bomb found on Spanish Rail Line
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 07:58 AM by maddezmom
MADRID, Spain -- Police found a bomb Friday on a high-speed rail line between Madrid and Seville, Interior Minister Angel Acebes said.

Bomb-disposal experts alerted by a railway employee found 22-24 pounds of dynamite under a track about 40 miles south of Madrid on the rail line running to Seville, Acebes said.

The explosives were connected to a detonator with a 430-foot cable, the minister told a news conference.

He said it was not known who placed the bomb.

5. Why I never watch FAUX New or the other two whores

First they are not news outlets. They are entertainment centers. These networks sensationalize stories with slanted views according to their audience. Snippets of real news is given only to glue you to your tv waiting for details that come just before the major media comes out.

Mean while, one watches stupid brain washing commercials. One after another.

Forget it!!

6. police in northern Spain defused three letter bombs addressed to journalis
On Thursday, police in northern Spain defused three letter bombs addressed to journalists in Madrid.

Acebes said the origin of the letter bombs has not been determined, although the mechanism of the bombs is "similar to those that have been used by anarchist groups on previous occasions."

I don't know if this is in the original article. I did not register to read the original.

The letter bombs are clearly not left over from 3/11. What are they about?
