MADRID, Spain April 13 — Suspected terrorists, linked to the March 11 commuter train bombings and who blew themselves up in a police raid earlier this month, left behind a videotape threatening more attacks against Spain because of its plans to send more troops to Afghanistan, the interior ministry said Tuesday.

News of the threats came as officials said investigators had arrested three more suspects in the train bombings, bringing the total in custody to 24.

The badly damaged videotape was found in the rubble of a Madrid apartment where seven suspects in the bombings blew themselves up on April 3 as police move in to arrest them.

In two previously unintelligible sentences on the tape that have now been deciphered by investigators three men claim responsibility for the train bombings in the name of al-Qaida and threaten more bloodshed unless Spain withdrew its troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.

And for Maggie, in Spain this week.

In two previously unintelligible sentences on the tape that have now been deciphered by investigators three men claim responsibility for the train bombings in the name of al-Qaida and threaten more bloodshed unless Spain withdrew its troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Two "previously unintelligible" sentences, turn out to be an admission of guilt and a threat of future action! Well, isn't that lucky?
