Al Qaeda has promised to protect us from extremists like those at the U.S. White House and Pentagon.\" <br><br> Mr. Zapatero said he was \"pleasantly surprised at al Qaeda's reasonable pricing for high-quality protection.\" <br>  <br> <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"This is the obvious next step for Spain.","numcomment":12,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2004\/03\/105327.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":105329,"heading":"my biulding fool","article":"You must be with the HAMAS.\n\n","author":"Albert Kada","parent_id":105327,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-03-19 16:09:27","modified":"2004-03-19 16:09:27","fileurl":""},{"id":105338,"heading":"embassies","article":"The last spectacular closing of an embassy that specialized in training terrorists and torturers happened in 1979 in Tehran.
