Spain fears 'bad blood' with Morocco

Spanish security sources said yesterday they believed that bad blood with Morocco caused a critical breakdown in communication over terrorists' movements.

Analysts fear that the centuries-old rivalry could further hamper the investigation into the Moroccan terrorist cell that appears to be behind last week's bombings in Spain that killed 201 people.

The spectre of a Moroccan jihad touches one of Spain's most sensitive nerves. King Juan Carlos has publicly atoned for the expulsion of the Jews in 1492 but has refused to pay the same tribute to the Moors.

It's a bit of a hobby of mine. I'm compiling a biography of the
Cid's life.
