O.P. Madrid trains blast 11-M [one year ago]
Today at 6:30 (GMT, 7:30 (AM)  in Spain) thirteen bombs blasted three metropolitan trains. 200 victims died, 34 were deadly injured and more than 1450 were wounded. Among them, as you can imagine, even children going to school. This happened at important stations in Madrid (Atocha was the most affected).

The European Parliament set European Terrorism Victims' Day on 11-M in support to all victims of this terrible act.

As you'll read in the newspapers or in following liks, politicians blame the terrorist group Freedom for the Basque Country (aka ETA) but the political wing of ETA blames the Islamic Resistance Al-Qaeda. Nothing's sure for now.
Al-Qaeda claimed the crime at a British newspaper

(latest stats: 7537 days, 10 hours, 50 minutes, 52 seconds ago)



Anyway, I just want to express my condolences to all victims and their families (F)

RECQUIESCAT IN PACE

this is the biggest massacre in the history of Spain. It's a pity that there are still people who do such things :( At the region where I live, the authorities have stopped the festivities for 3 days and the Uni has cancelled the classes this afternoon. This Sunday, there is general election here and the most important political parties have ended beforehand their election campaigns.

Well, now I could speak a bit about our current government, and its policy with ETA and its behaviour at the war against Irak (that would explain the hypothesis about Al-Qaeda being the guilties)... However i think that's enough for now :-/

Corrected, I just read it before reading your post :undecided:. The number of wounded grew to a thousand...

God bless the victims... (for those who belive in God, tbh I actually don't, but I respect the victims' beliefs)

RE: Madrid train blasts
When I'd first heard it was only one station. Then during a talk today we were told the number had risen to 173 ( the fact the talk was by our Blood Transfusion Service had absolutely nothing to do with it) and I had to leave the room for a few minutes to gather myself before going back in and no one could understand what was wrong.
How anyone could do what hapen in Madrid I will never know but my heart goes out with condolences to those who have lost loved ones today.....
I'll never forget how lucky I was 7454 days, 13 hours, 20 minutes, 52 seconds ago

Latest news say 190 people died, 40 are seriously injured and will probably die soon. There are 1500+ injured people. As you can see, there are more and more killed and injured people.

Also it seems ETA isn't who did that. The group Al-Qaeda has sent a letter to a newspaper of UK claiming the responsibility for the attack. I personally think the responsible has been Al-Qaeda.
