Spanish protesters shout abuse as PP's Rajoy votes


MADRID, March 14 (Reuters) - Protesters shouted "Liar!" and "Get our troops out of Iraq!" at Spain's ruling party prime ministerial candidate Mariano Rajoy as he voted in the general election on Sunday, three days after the Madrid bombings.

Tensions are running high in the country after the bombings of four packed commuter trains on Thursday which killed 200 and wounded 1,500.

Police are investigating a videotape purporting to be from the Islamic militant group al Qaeda saying it was responsible for the bombing and that it was a reprisal for Spain's support for the Iraq war.

For two days the government had said Basque separatist guerrillas ETA were the prime suspect. ETA denied involvement.
