Spain's opposition Socialist party has claimed an unexpected victory in the country's general election with almost all the votes counted.
The Socialists have won 43% of the vote while the centre-right Popular Party has garnered 38%, reports say.
The poll has been clouded by claims that al-Qaeda carried out the Madrid bomb attacks that killed 200 people.
Officials said turnout was 62.9% just before voting ended - higher than the 55.5% at the same time in 2000's poll.
Aznar gets defeated because he supported Bush's Turkey shoot.
