Police have arrested someone plotting mass-murder, he'd just received 140kgs of explosives he'd ordered via the internet. The target apparently was the University, not tourists.

Re: Mallorca bomb plot foiled..
This was the comment on the BBC website that interested me....
"Police began investigating five months ago after finding comments online about the Columbine High School massacre in the US, when two former pupils murdered 12 students and a teacher."
"Somebody's watching me..."

A 21-year-old was arrested in Palma de Mallorca on Wednesday on the suspicion that he was planning a Columbine-style massacre at the University of the Balearic Islands, where he was a student. The police swooped on Juan Manuel M. S. at 10am, just after he had received a delivery of more than 140 kilos of bomb-making materials that he had purchased via the internet.
