Chapter 12

Madrid Train System (March 11, 2004)

ON MARCH 11, 2004, between 7:37 and 7:42 A.M., a series of ten coordinated bomb explosions devastated the Cercanias (commuter train) system of Madrid, killing 191 people and wounding 1,841. All of the trains had been coming from Madrid's eastern suburbs toward the city center and Atocha train station. Although more than 100 people have been investigated in connection with the bombings, 29 were charged with participating in the terrorist attack, and of the 29, six were charged with 191 counts of murder and 1,755 counts of attempted murder. The active core of the cluster of individuals responsible for carrying out the March 11 attacks was primarily radicalized in Madrid.
