Spanish In Spain, the Socialist Party swept to power Saturday as voters rejected the pro-U.S. policies of Prime Minister José María Aznar. Aznar had been one of the most vocal backers of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Spain’s new prime minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said he intends to withdraw Spain’s 1,300 troops from Iraq. He said, “The war in Iraq was a disaster, the occupation of Iraq is a disaster.” The vote came three days after bomb attacks in Madrid killed 200 people and wounded 1,500. Spanish police have detained three Moroccans and two men from India in connection to the attack. The Associated Press is reporting that one of the Moroccans was a follower of an Al Qaida member who was jailed in Spain for allegedly helping plan the Sept. 11 attacks. Aznar had come under intense criticism for backing the U.S. invasion and for his handling of Thursday’s bombing. Immediately after the attacks, Aznar’s government insisted the Basque separatist group Eta for the attacks. But intelligence agencies now believe they were carried out by a group connected to Al Qaeda. Many in Spain said their government’s support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq led to Thursday’s bombings. One 23-year-old pre-school teacher told the New York Times “Our prime minister has gotten us into a terrible, completely wrong war. And because of it, I spent yesterday and today going to funerals. I am thinking of a 3-year-old child at my school who no longer has a mother.’’
