Big surprise here. “A two-year investigation into the Madrid train bombings concludes that the Islamic terrorists who carried out the blasts were homegrown radicals acting alone rather than at the behest of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network, two senior intelligence officials? told the Associated Press. Of course not. Because the Madrid train bombings were carried out by police informants connected to a false flag intelligence operation. “Moroccan Rafa Zuher and Spaniard Jose Emilio Suarez had been in contact with police before the attacks,” the BBC reported on April 29, 2004. “According to [the Spanish newspaper] El Mundo, [Suarez] was an informant for the National Police, providing information about trafficking in weapons, drugs and explosives.”
