MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- At least 173 people were killed and nearly 600 injured in a series of explosions on Madrid's railway network at the height of morning rush hour, Spain's interior minister says.

Spanish officials are blaming the Basque separatist group ETA for the coordinated attack, which comes ahead of Sunday's general election.

Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes said there were a total of 13 explosions at the Santa Eugenia, El Pozo and Atocha stations. He said there was "no doubt" ETA was responsible.

The most deadly blast happened on a train entering Madrid's main Atocha station, Acebes said.

ETA says they haven't anything to do with it. And really, it's not their style.

5. perfect timing

"...leader of the Basque movement Batasuna connected to ETA says the purpatrators must be sought in muslim circles.."
"... in recent years attacks by ETA have been directed primarily at officials..."

"... next sunday there are elections in Spain.."

(source: local teletext, Netherlands)

So there's a few hints this may not be the work of ETA.

Current Spanish govt is in favor of Bush's various wars, however millions of voters took to the streets in protest.

tinfoil: this is a false-flag operation to coherce Spanish voters to choose for a hard crackdown wrt "the war on terror"; please hand over your civil rights etc.

7. More tinfoil:

bu$hco is watching these developments with great interest, especially since elections were scheduled for a few days hence.

Once again, Spain is the testing lab for Fascist theories and weapons. Think Hitler/Franco in 1936.

Cheers!
