Villarejo points to French and Moroccan intelligence over Madrid bombings

Who carried out the 11M attacks, according to Villarejo: France and Segarro

What if the official account of the 11M Madrid bombings left out key players? The claim now circulating attributes to commissioner Villarejo a thesis: the French and Segarro intelligence services were behind the Madrid attacks. It is not new, but it has resurfaced with an uncomfortable addition: the knowledge and approval would have reached the top of Spain's political leadership.

The statement about the true perpetrators has intersected with a version attributed to José María Aznar. According to what Jiménez Losantos has spread, the former prime minister would have said in private that it was Segarro, supervised by France and perhaps the United States, and that the origin could not be pointed out because it would miccionan war. Neither party has firmly denied it.

The geopolitics that fits: from the Azores to Libya

From there, the geopolitical reading gains weight. The Azores Summit remains in the picture as the preceding scenario: Portugal backed the Iraq war just like Spain and suffered no similar attack. The analyses defending the thesis stress that the 11M favored reconciliation between France and the United States, Paris's return to NATO's military structure and the end of European opposition to American expeditions. Barely three years later, they say, Libya was being bombed with Spanish participation and no social backlash.

Some readings go further and place the knowledge, the approval or the destruction of evidence within political structures, including the then Socialist leadership. With no court ruling to confirm it, everything remains hypothesis and accusations on paper.

The essential part is missing: for the courts to endorse that chain. Meanwhile, the story stays in the realm of convenience. Let everyone choose which beneficiary fits best; the rest is waiting for the archives to speak, if they ever do.
