El Confidencial Digital:
Spanish police has received several complaints after a post in a Jihadist Website threatened directly Spain to "repeat, if necessary March 11th bombings". The author also remembers the Spanish troops' presence in Afghanistan and "Spanish occupation of Ceuta and Melilla".
"I am writing this letter to the Crusader Kingdom of Spain (the Middle Ages aren't over yet for these morons)
This is for you, pigs: We are sending our greetings through the air, dipped in blood. Your blood, which we have savored before and which has a flavor we can't easily forget, specially because you haven't understood or simply because you have ignored us, and you continue with your war against Islam and Muslims, enrolling yourselves in NATO (Note: it looks like that Spain is a NATO member since March 11th 2004...) and taking part in the bloodshed of our brothers in Afghanistan".Is this the next chapter of the Vampire Chronicles or a press release from a Jihadist? No, seriously, that line about savoring Spanish blood seems to be written by a very, very bad terror novels' author.
This is how the threatening message begins. Its author, was published on last Sept, 1, on the Jihadist website "Atahadi Islamic Network". After that, he accuses Spain of "capturing and imprisoning dozens of innocents, fabricating against them non-existent evidence and locking them up in your racist prisons".This is worrying: the minute they are making a difference between them and Moroccan regime, the latter will need to act even more violently against their subjects, to prevent revolts, and its evolution towards a much more extreme version of Islam would be another probable consequence.
He continues referring to the Spanish Government's alliances with "puppets' regimes" like Morocco or Argelia, countries that receive Muslims "turned in" by Spain and where they suffer "every type of tortures in their prisons". The menace remembers too "the ocupation of our lands in Ceuta and Melilla".
He also remembers the descendants of Tariq Ibn-Ziyad -the Berber general that lead the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in the VIIIth century- who "gave you a lesson" on March 11th 2004. "But it seems that you have forgotten it, and if it's necessary to repeat it, it will be repeated".
The text was published in arabic, and received several comments of other users, assuring him "Allah's payback". The author wrote afterwards if someone could translate it to Spanish. Someone called "Moroccan Karim" accepted soon afterwards.A very good example that caving into terror, doesn't stop it at all. I hope they are tracked down and arrested, but it's probable they don't live at all in Spain.

"Your blood, which we have savored before and which has a flavor we can't easily forget" .. nice flair for PR
When you see this shit, it should be easily recognizable that this message is NOT for the crusader 'remnants' still residing in the once and future Al Andalus, but in fact is a DESPERATE message to remind the 'fighters' that there is still resistance.
BTW .. are there ANY Spaniards in Afghanistan? Not that it matters to these guys as an issue of fact.
Yes, Epaminondas, Spain has troops in Afghanistan. Several days ago two Civil Guards were killed by their driver, while they were teaching Afghan police units.
This is from last February:
The Spanish government will send up to 511 more troops to Afghanistan for the NATO-led security force, pending approval from parliament, the Defense Ministry said Friday.
The move was expected after Socialist government officials here recently discussed possible troop increases in response to requests, including from the Obama administration in the United States, for additional troops to fight the Taliban.
The increase would boost Spain's overall troop level in Afghanistan to 1,600 (actual level, if I'm not mistaken), a Defense Ministry spokeswoman told CNN.
Defense Minister Carme Chacon is to appear next Wednesday before parliament's defense committee to formally request the troop increase.
Zapatero just fled from Iraq, not from Afghanistan. While Iraq has very bad publicity in Spain, Afghanistan does not have much publicity and above all it has UN permission. He has a very good relationship with Obama (or at least he thinks that he has a very good relationship). NATO's Secretary General Rasmussen is visiting today Spain to tell Zapatero that more troops should be sent.
We'll see what happens.
