Madrid Bomb Blast

Concerns for the future 2012 Olympic Games were on the minds of authorities after a car bomb detonated outside Madrid's main convention center, the most serious terrorist attack since last year's bombings of four commuter trains that killed over 190 people. Today's blast injured 15 and came only hours before King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia and Mexican President Vicente Fox were due to open an art exhibition at the convention center. The Basque separatist group ETA is blamed for the bombing.

I need to go back and check my notes. I thought that the country voted last year for a socialist government because it was the bombers' choice. So, even though the bombers got their socialists in power, the country still has bombings. Maybe appeasement doesn't work.

[Update @ 1300 EST] It's now being reported that the bombing injured 39 people.
