The general commanding four loyalist columns moving on Madrid during Spain's civil war (1936-1939) referred to his militant supporters within the capital as his "fifth column."

It may take weeks before the identity of those responsible for the March 11 tragedy in Madrid is established. But one thing is already certain: Europe has not yet taken the full measure of the terrorist threat to its way of life, indeed its existence as a zone of peace and prosperity in an unstable world.

Though scarred by a civil war 70 years ago, and by the fascist terrorism of the Basque separatist ETA movement in recent years, Spain has seen no previous horror that could prepare it for Madrid's recent nightmare.

You can start jihad in the suburbs and end up as a prisoner of the United States at Guantanamo. That’s the situation of six Frenchmen of North African origin, held in solitary confinement the last two years along with 660 other Islamists captured in Afghanistan.
