ETA had previously placed car bombs in Madrid, the deadliest being the Plaza República Dominicana bombing in July 1986, which had killed 12 Civil Guards.
 The Vallecas attack was the third of 1995.
 Earlier in the year, ETA had unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate José María Aznar, head of the People's Party and Leader of the Opposition, who had escaped death due to protection offered by his armoured car.
 In the second attack in June, ETA had killed a police officer, Jesus Robello.
 The Vallecas attack came just four days after a meeting of European Union heads of state had taken place in Madrid, marking the end of the Spanish Presidency of the EU.

Daniel Phillips Upham (more commonly known as D.P. Upham; December 30, 1832 – November 18, 1882) was an American politician, businessman, plantation owner, and Arkansas State Militia commander following the U.S. Civil War.
 He is best known for his effective and brutal acts as the leader of a successful militia campaign against the Ku Klux Klan.
 These acts began after the Klan attempted to assassinate him on October 2, 1868.
 Later that year, Upham was designated a brigadier general and commanded a force that eventually numbered over 1,000 men.

The "Führer" Headquarters ("Führerhauptquartiere" in German), abbreviated FHQ, is a common name for a number of official headquarters used by the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and various German commanders and officials throughout Europe during the Second World War.
 Perhaps the most widely known headquarters was the "Führerbunker" in Berlin, Germany, where Hitler committed suicide on 30 April 1945.
 Other notable headquarters are the "Wolfsschanze" (Wolf's Lair) in East Prussia, where Claus von Stauffenberg in league with other conspirators attempted to assassinate Hitler on 20 July 1944, and Hitler's private home, the "Berghof", at Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden, where he frequently met with prominent foreign and domestic officials.
On 20 July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg and other conspirators attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Führer of Nazi Germany, inside his Wolf's Lair field headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia.
 The name Operation Valkyrie, originally referring to part of the conspiracy, has become associated with the entire event.
 The apparent aim of the assassination attempt was to wrest political control of Germany and its armed forces from the Nazi Party (including the SS) and to make peace with the western Allies as soon as possible.
 The underlying desire of many of the high-ranking Wehrmacht officers involved was apparently to show the world that not all Germans were like Hitler and the Nazi Party.
 The details of the conspirators' peace initiatives remain unknown, but they likely would have included unrealistic demands for the confirmation of Germany's extensive annexations of European territory.
