Yahoo! News - Police Officer Killed in Madrid Blast -El Mundo
MADRID (Reuters) - A police officer was killed and eight other people were injured in an explosion in a Madrid suburb on Saturday where police were hunting for suspects in the March 11 bombings, the Web site of newspaper El Mundo said.
An Interior Ministry source earlier on Saturday confirmed an operation was under way in the suburb of Leganes linked to the investigation into the train bombings that killed 191 people, but declined to provide further details.
Just the start, I'm afraid. Indications are that the Madrid bombers were already in the country plotting their attacks before the Iraq invasion. The Jihadis' goals aren't just the withdrawal of Spanish troops, and they'll keep at it - especially now that there's blood in the water.
