Re: The spanish bombings were 911 days after 9/11
It seems rather coincidental to me.
There is no significance to 911 days unless you view it as some sort of derivative of the date 9/11. However, it is mostly only Americans who'd write the date that way. Most Europeans would write the date as 11/9; and of course, most Muslims would undoubtably use the Islamic calendar and write it as the 23rd day of the 6th month.

2 things wrong with that argument:
1) Terrorists don't strike terror by attacking targets in ways that are only significant to themselves.
2) The attack is referred to as 9-11.
Basically, if it WAS Al Qaeda, this would be a significant statement of "we can strike anyone, anywhere, and with planned precision." To write it off based on the fact that the US is the only one that keeps time like that would be somewhat short-sighted and assigns a dangerous assumption that the planners were neither educated or strategically adept when it comes to making statements, which is exactly what such attacks require.
Remember, it's America that's the target. Strike us, then strike our allies in ways that are significant to us, and it shifts the blame to us in many people's eyes. The object is to make us lose allies.
That being said, I haven't read anything confirming that it was 911 days after the original attack. However, being able to strike Spain mere days before the elections AND it being exactly 911 days after the first attack would be a wet dream for any terrorist organization.

I make it 911.
365*2 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 where those are lengths of months.

Re: The spanish bombings were 911 days after 9/11
11 - 9 - 01 = 0
11 - 9 - 02 = 365
11 - 9 - 03 = 730
01 - 10 - 03 = 749
01 - 11 - 03 = 780
01 - 12 - 03 = 810
01 - 01 - 04 = 842
01 - 02 - 04 = 873 < Leap year add 29
01 - 03 - 04 = 902
11 - 03 - 04 = 912.

Re: The spanish bombings were 911 days after 9/11
How long's SS been back and posting?
Plus I had a discussion with a stoned friend of mine who claimed that Al Qaeda was run by the American Gov't during which I was told to 'read between the lines' on enough occassions that I started to menstruate. I assume laughing in his face when we were drinking his beer on a night he organised was a faux pas on my part.
