Here&#8217;s part of the statement: &#8220;Because of this [electoral] decision, the leadership has decided to stop all operations within the Spanish territories&#8230; until we know the intentions of the new government that has promised to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq. And we repeat this to all the brigades present in European lands: stop all operations.&#8221; They&#8217;ve learned something, haven&#8217;t they? And if Zapatero doesn&#8217;t withdraw from Iraq, Spain will be targeted again.</p>
