Last Friday, March 12, the citizens of Menorca demonstrated en
masse in Maó and Ciutadella, to express their rejection of the
brutal
terrorist attack in Madrid and to show their solidarity with the
victims. Thousands of people of all ages, namely some 7,000 in
Maó and
some 5.000 in Ciutadella, joined the demonstration.
The propagators of the terrorist attack is still a subject of
discussion, but after the communication from ETA published in the
newspaper
Gara, everything
points
towards integrist Moslems.
