MADRID BOMBINGS idelogues ID'd, reports the Associated Press:
Police have identified two Syrian-born Spaniards as the ideological mentors behind last year's Madrid train bombings, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

El Pais said a police report handed over in March to the judge investigating the attacks concludes that the two, Moutaz Almallah Dabas and his brother, Mohannad, were directly linked to al-Qaida. Both are in custody.

Both are in custody, and one of them was a member of Zapatero's Socialist party! (oh, how I love to be a little bit of a demagogue: it's far from clear that the Socialist party officials knew, but can you imagine if he had been a GOPer? For much less than this, look what they're calling Cheney and Bush).

Police and the Interior Ministry declined to comment on the report.
