Spain funds terrorism

By paying ransom.

Spanish hostage freed in Iraq: report

An Iraqi-born Spanish businessman kidnapped in Baghdad several weeks ago has been freed after a ransom was paid, Spain's leading daily reported.

El Pais reported that the kidnapped man, identified only by his initials, UAH, was freed on Tuesday, El Pais said, citing unidentified government sources.

The paper said the sources refused to give details of the ransom paid so as not to put people involved in the operation at risk.

It's too bad they didn't think about putting people at risk before they forked over funds that could pay for explosives, weapons, safe-houses, etc.

They saved a Spaniard, how many Iraqis will die for this?

I guess they wouldn't mind if the Iraqis in question wired the funds to al Qaeda in Spain, who could then blow up some more trains.

Or they could eliminate the middleman and simply send the money directly to al Qaeda in Spain, who could then blow up the Spanish trains.

Or maybe they could eliminate all the middlemen entirely, by blowing up the trains themselves.

Blow up trains in Spain,
You've got a lot to gain.

Blow up trains in Spain,
Don't pour euros down the drain

Blow up trains in Spain,
Don't send money to Bahrain

Blow up trains in Spain,
Don't worry about the pain.
