Fear of New Bomb Attacks Grows in Spain
El Pais newspaper reported that Spain is the main al Qaeda base in Europe and said police believed al Qaeda could strike again here.
Spain could be a target for attack by Islamic militants because of its strong support for U.S. policy on Iraq under outgoing Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.
But Socialist leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who takes office later this month after his upset victory in elections held three days after the Madrid bombs, has pledged to bring 1,300 Spanish troops home from Iraq if the United Nations does not take charge there by the end of June.
