'unclear' whether Muslim terrorists caused the bombing and 13% are unsure that means 45% are unclear/unsure. So, are there conspiracy theories circulating within Spain/Europe? If yes, do they think it was the Basques or the CIA/NSC or Israel or Russia? Anyone?

Didn't those on trial admit they were planning the attacks a full year before the Iraq War.
