Greatest Moment in Spanish History: Widow Wears Mohammed Cartoon Shirt to Terror Trial

Reuters:

A woman who lost her husband in the 2004 Madrid train bombings displayed an infamous cartoon mocking the Prophet Mohammad on her T-shirt in front of 29, mostly Muslim, suspects on trial for the attacks on Monday.

The woman's white T-shirt showed Mohammad wearing a bomb as a turban -- one of a series published by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten which unleashed violent protests by some Muslims last year....

The woman sat in the front row of the court wearing the T-shirt for around half-an-hour before getting up, walking up to the glass cage containing the defendants and finally walking out of the court, judicial sources said.

Somebody find that woman, and give her a big kiss from me, will ya?

UPDATE: I'm guessing this is the shirt (the white version of it). Oddly, the story linked by Flap (where I grabbed the image) shows the shirt made by Metrospy. But their website no longer has the shirt, even though the story claims it was their best selling shirt of the year.

Seriously, does no one have my back anymore? I mean, this is possibly the greatest story of all time, and not one of you thinks to e-mail me about it? Some Tatooine Forward Intel Unit I have working for me. For shame. For shame! Instead, I have to find out from Allahpundit. Kudos to him and his 72 virgins for finding this.
