Iran Linked To Madrid Bombings


August 03, 2004
The Media Line



Iran played a pivotal role in supporting the terrorists who carried out the deadly Madrid attacks in March, according to European investigators.

European experts say Iran has served as a refuge for Al-Qa’ida operatives suspected of planning attacks on Europe and the Middle East as well playing a central part in the Iraqi insurgency, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Experts say there are increasing indications that Iran harbors important members of the terror network, including the masterminds of the attack in Madrid that left some 200 people dead, and the bombings in Saudi Arabia in 2003 that targeted Westerners in the kingdom.

It is difficult to determine the nature of the relationship between Iran and Al-Qa’ida due to the lack of transparency in the Iranian establishment, investigators said.

In July, the final report on the September 11 attacks revealed an Iranian link to the events, since eight of the assailants traveled through the country prior to the attacks.

A French law enforcement official told the Los Angeles Times that Iran has arrested important Al-Qa’ida members while allowing other members to operate.

The dominant sect of Islam in Iran is Shi’ism, which is a traditional and historic rival of the Sunni sect that characterizes the radical Al-Qa’ida network. European experts said they believe Iran tolerates the group because it serves their interests in Iraq and against the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Iran denies any ties to Al-Qa’ida.

According to the Los Angeles Times, European investigators and court documents point at Abu Mu’s’ab A-Zarqawi as one terrorist who is allegedly linked to Al-Qa’ida and is thought to have operated in Iran. Mu’stafa Setmariam Na’sar, who the Spanish police believe might have planned the Madrid attacks, may also have links to Iran.

Iran is also suspected of links to the bombings in Casablanca, Morocco, last year, the French official told the paper.

The Europeans have been talking recently as though they are moving towards more of a hardline approach against the mullahs.. I don't know? Of course they will try to do what's in their best interest - and probably switch sides now that they feel the regime has nothing much of a future left.. But, will a future Iranian gov have good relations with Europeans - perhaps the Iranian people and European Governments will kiss and make up? ANy thoughts?
