There is no capital punishment in Spain (not in any country of the European Community) and I'm happy about that, even in this situation.
Regarding the political effects of this terrorist act, It depends of who did it. If it was ETA, this will bring support for the actual government (right winged) that has a hard position against any basque political party (even those that are pacific), but if it was islamic, it will bring support to the opposition (left winged) that had a strong opposition against spanish intervention in the iraqui war.
