JUST HOURS BEFORE THE POLLS OPEN FOR PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS, MANY HERE SHOUTED
"WE WANT THE TRUTH BEFORE WE VOTE."
WHILE THE PROTEST CONTINUED, THE INTERIOR MINISTER SUDDENLY MADE HIS SECOND
APPEARANCE OF THE DAY TO ANNOUNCE THE FIRST ARRESTS IN THE CASE -- THREE
MOROCCANS AND TWO INDIAN NATIONALS DETAINED IN MADRID.

LOOKING AT THE BASQUE SEPERATIST GROUP ETA, BUT ALSO AT ISLAMIC TERRORISTS LIKE
AL QAEDA.
BUT MANY SPANIARDS QUESTION WHETHER THE EMPHASIS ON ETA MIGHT BE POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED.
"If it's al Qaeda, the Popular Party will surely lose votes and if it's ETA,
things will probably stay the same, and they'll win."
THE RULING CONSERVATIVE POPULAR PARTY CANDIDATE WAS LEADING IN THE POLLS BEFORE
THE ATTACKS, PARTLY DUE TO HIS PARTY'S STRONG STANCE AGAINST ETA'S THREE
DECADES OF VIOLENCE.
BUT THE SOCIALIST PARTY CHALLENGER VOWED TO BRING HOME SPAIN'S 13 HUNDRED
TROOPS IN IRAQ.
THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED THE U.S.-LED WAR IN IRAQ, DESPITE OVERWHELMING PUBLIC

AL-QAEDA LISTED SPAIN AS A TARGET...

HAS BEEN PLAYING POLITICS WITH THE INVESTIGATION.
"I hope that no political party takes advantage or disadvantage in the
aftermath of this atrocity. I think that we all have to stand united in front
of terrorism."

POLICE HAD FOUND A VIDEO TAPE CLAIMING, FOR THE FIRST TIME, RESPONSIBLITY FOR
THE ATTACK CLEARLY IN THE NAME OF AL-QAEDA.
BUT HE SAID INTELLIGENCE SOURCES IN SPAIN AND ABROAD HAD DOUBTS ABOUT ITS
