MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A document published months before national elections reveals al Qaeda planned to separate Spain from its allies by carrying out terror attacks.

A December posting on an Internet message board used by al Qaeda and its sympathizers and obtained by CNN, spells out a plan to topple the pro-U.S. government.

"We think the Spanish government will not stand more than two blows, or three at the most, before it will be forced to withdraw because of the public pressure on it," the al Qaeda document says.

"If its forces remain after these blows, the victory of the Socialist Party will be almost guaranteed -- and the withdrawal of Spanish forces will be on its campaign manifesto."

That prediction came to fruition in elections Sunday, with the Socialists unseating the Popular Party three days after near-simultaneous bombings of four trains killed 200 and shocked the nation...

its very sad that spain gave up so easily. the terroists have a plan, no doubt about that

It only took one blow...they caved to the terrorists even quicker than Al-qaeda predicted.

Not every country has the Resolve and determination to rid the world of terrorism. Sad. I am Glad I am an American

Get a BOB and stay alert for the next 8 months. I would not be shocked to see an attempt on Bush himself before the election.

Very sad but mostly just PATHETIC.. Hope they and the French are very happy living cowardly together
