The Plot to Take Over Spain by the Islamic Jihad

An alert reader of Melanie Phillips Diary
has pointed out an incredibly important change in Jihad straight that has slipped under everyones radar to date. As yet, the only reference to the change has occurred in a PBS Frontline film which aired January 25 called Al Qaeda's New Front available here

"

Now, it seems that the belief some of us held at the time that the Atocha atrocity was nothing to do with Iraq and everything to do instead with the aim of the Islamic jihad to retake Andalucia as part of a restored Islamic caliphate was correct. For another, subsequent plot to attack Spain has apparently been uncovered -- and this one would have dwarfed Atocha. According to the Front Line programme transmitted on January 25 by the American TV station PBS, in October 2004 Spanish police disrupted a plot to bomb multiple targets, including a skyscraper designed by the architect who designed the World Trade Center; the offices of anti-terrorism judge Baltasar Garzón; the soccer stadium where the Real Madrid club plays; and, once again, the Atocha train station. 38 suspects are now being held.

This horrific plot was being hatched after Spain had effectively thrown up its hands in surrender over Iraq. According to the programme, the driving force behind these Islamists was the desire to retake Andalucia as an important part of the medieval Islamic caliphate. Well, there's a surprise....the revelation about the October plot comes almost at the end...(of the Front line program)


Yet as far as I can see, apart from this PBS programme there has been virtually no reporting or comment about this. Is this part of the general fatuous -- and potentially lethal -- denial of the nature of the threat we face?"

What do you know? I thought the blue wall of silence around Eason Jordan's insulting lies about our military offing journalists was big enough here is Front line stating on film that world domination by Jihad is on the menu and no one has any comment. Ferris? Anyone. Anyone? Ferris?
