Extremist tape condemns Spanish

AN al-Qaida-linked videotape threatening more attacks against Spain, singles out the incoming Socialist government for its decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said yesterday.

The video was found in the rubble of a Madrid apartment where seven suspects in the bombings blew themselves up on April 3.

The Arabic-language tape was badly damaged in the explosion. In the video, three of the suicide attackers claimed responsibility for the March 11 attacks in the name of a group linked to al-Qaida and threatened more bloodshed unless Spain withdraws from Iraq and Afghanistan in a week.
