I heard over the radio that having the terrorist be Basque would help the current government's election but Muslim would hurt.
The information says that France has been ignoring the Basque terrorists until 9/11 and have arrested 600 since then. He was comparing it to al-Qaida in Pakistan. They attack in Afganistan and then run back to Pakistan. These would attack in Spain and run back to France.
