Alleged al-Qaeda letter claims responsibility for Madrid bombings This is the point I am making. In Turkey theire were also bomblasts some months ago. They were claimed by al-Qaeda, but when they investigated and captured the terrorists it was revealed that they had no connection to al-Qaeda but just used the name. It seems that now a days every terrorist organisation is al-Qaeda like theire is some huge network of terrorists out theire.
But its terrible that this happend but they should catch the real culprets and not slide it to al-Qaeda(wich also may be "removed" in my book).
edit: It seems that the culpret are the Brigade of Abu Hafs al-Masri wich can be linked to al-Qaeda.
