And I Thought Terrorists Liked Spain Now

Via Florida Cracker, evidence that appeasing terrorists, strangely enough, doesn't seem to reduce terrorism:

MADRID (AFP) - Spanish police arrested eight suspected Islamic extremists believed to be plotting a bomb attack on the National Court, Spain's highest criminal court, Interior Minister Jose Antonio Alonso said.

Alonso told reporters that seven men were arrested overnight while another suspect was detained in the northern city of Pamplona on Tuesday morning as police swooped on several cities.

The cell "was envisaging carrying out an attack against the National Court or against another judicial institution," Alonso told journalists.

...

They were believed to have "been in contact with individuals in other European countries, in Australia and the United States," the ministry statement said.

Meanwhile, Florida-Cracker is giving out the Eddie Haskell Award for most links to Instapundit. I am scared that I am currently in first place, but she won't say yet.

Hey-- it's not brown-nosing. It's just some light stalking.

And another cool story about a pistol-packing woman fending off a criminal. Sadly, the criminal wasn't hit, but she did blow out one of his tires, just to make a point.
