Norway sees Al-Qaeda hand

MOLDE (NORWAY), MARCH 13. The Norwegian researchers have found documents that could link the Al-Qaeda network to terror bombings that killed at least 200 people in Madrid, Spain.

Experts from the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment said the documents found on an Arabic-language website last year suggested Spain as a possible terror target because the country had been part of the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.

"We must make maximum use of the proximity to the elections in Spain in March next year. Spain can stand a maximum of two or three attacks before they will withdraw from Iraq," the documents said, according to a media report.

One of the experts told the paper the researchers first thought the 42-page document referred to attacks against coalition forces in Iraq.
