Terrorist attack foiled - Gibraltar target ?
Reports that the Spanish Police have arrested an al Qaeda terrorist group in two towns in southern Spain one the towns appears to be La Línea
de la Concepción (usually called La Línea) which is the town that border Gibraltar.
This would seem to indicate Gib was the most likely target

Very similar status as Channel Islands --- recently more demands from Spanish demanding it back. Most of the population is of mixed Maltese, UK,
Spanish North African. Portuguese, Italian origin 90%+ of the population count them selves in the census as Gibraltarian or other UK.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I thought you British people went to Spain. What do you need with Gibralter in this day and age? Oftentimes, it's cheaper to rent.

Gibraltar is an important asset to the UK. How else do you teach kids what an English town centre was like in 1987?
The rock itself is interesting. The town is a sh*t hole.
