2004 Madrid train bombings
The 2004 Madrid train bombings (also known in Spain as 11-M) were nearly simultaneous, coordinated bombings against the Cercanías commuter train system of Madrid, Spain, on the morning of 11 March 2004 – three days before Spain's general elections. The explosions killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800. The official investigation by the Spanish judiciary found that the attacks were directed by an al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist cell, although no direct al-Qaeda participation has been established. Though they had no role in the planning or implementation, the Spanish miners who sold the explosives to the terrorists were also arrested.
Controversy regarding the handling and representation of the bombings by the government arose, with Spain's two main political parties (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and Partido Popular (PP)), accusing each other of concealing or distorting evidence for electoral reasons. The bombings occurred three days before general elections in which incumbent José María Aznar's PP was defeated. Immediately after the bombing, leaders of the PP claimed evidence indicating the Basque separatist organization, ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) was responsible for the bombings, while Islamist responsibility would have had the opposite effect, as it would have been seen as a consequence of the PP government taking Spain into the Iraq War, a policy extremely unpopular with Spaniards. Nationwide demonstrations and protests followed the attacks asking the government to tell the truth. The predominant view among political analysts is that the Aznar administration lost the general elections as a result of the handling and representation of the terrorist attacks, rather than because of the bombings per se.

Vinos de Madrid
Vinos de Madrid is a Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO), located in the southern part of the province of Madrid, (Spain). It covers 54 municipalities and is divided into the three sub-zones (Arganda, Navalcarnero, and San Martín), each of which produce different types of wine.
History
The ancient Romans likely introduced vines in the area as they did throughout the rest of the Iberian peninsula. However, the first documented evidence of wine production in the area dates from the 13th century. Legal documents indicate a dispute between some monks and a local feudal lord over the ownership of a vineyard.
Vinos de Madrid acquired its DO status in 1990.
Geography and Soils
The three sub-zones are all at an elevation of between 500 and 800 m above sea level. Arganda is the largest sub-zone, containing about 50% of the vines and comprising 26 municipalities. The soil here contains mainly clay and lime over a granite subsoil. To the southwest, close to the Sierra de Gredos range, is the San Martín sub-zone, which contains 35% of the DO's vines. Further to the southwest is the Navalcarnero sub-zone with 15% of the vines. Rich dark soils are more abundant in San Martín, while in Navalcarnero the soils lack carbonates, are low in nutrients, and lie over a clay subsoil.

On March 11, 2004, ten bombs exploded in quick succession across the commuter rail network in Madrid, Spain, killing 191 people in an attack linked to al-Qaida-inspired militants.
STORYLINE
Powerful explosions rocked three busy Madrid train stations on Thursday just three days before general elections, killing 172 rush-hour commuters and wounding nearly 600 in Spain's worst terrorist attack ever.
The government blamed the armed Basque separatist group ETA, but the leader of Batasuna, an outlawed Basque party linked to the armed separatist group, denied it was behind the blasts and suggested "Arab resistance" elements were responsible.
Bombs exploded around 0730 local time (0630 GMT) in a commuter train arriving at Atocha station, a bustling hub for subway, commuter and long-distance trains in Spain's capital.
Blasts also rocked trains or platforms at two stations on a commuter line leading to Atocha.
Officials said there were 13 blasts altogether.
Shards of twisted metal were scattered by rails in the Atocha station.
People in tears streamed away from the station as rescue workers carried bodies covered in sheets of gold fabric.
People with bloodied faces sat on curbs, using mobile phones to tell loved ones they were alive.
Hospitals appealed for blood donations and buses were pressed into service as ambulances.
Rescue workers were overwhelmed, said one ambulance driver who went to Santa Eugenia station, about 10 kilometres (six miles) southeast of
Atocha.
The attacks traumatised Spain on the eve of Sunday's general election.
The campaign was largely dominated by separatist tensions in regions like the Basque country, with both the ruling conservative Popular Party and the opposition Socialists ruling out talks with ETA.
But the Socialists came in for withering criticism because a politician linked to the Socialist-run government in the Catalonia region, which also
has separatist sentiment, admitted meeting with ETA members in France in January.
The Socialists were lambasted as allegedly undermining Spain's fight against ETA.
It was the worst terrorist attack ever in Spain.
The deadliest attack blamed on ETA so far came in a Barcelona supermarket explosion in 1987.
It killed 21 people.
Spanish officials had said ETA was against the ropes following the arrest last year of more than 150 members or collaborators in Spain and France,
including the leaders of ETA's commando network.
Last year ETA killed three people, compared to 23 in 2000 and 15 in 2001.

March 11, 2014 marks the tenth anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, the worst terrorist attack in Europe since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988. Ten bombings inside commuter trains traveling to three different stations in the city centre killed a total of 191 people and injured more than 1,800.
On March 11 2004 at around 7:30 a.m, four packed commuter trains were approaching Atocha Renfe, El Pozo and Santa Eugenia stations. The first bombing occurred at 7:37 a.m. when a backpack exploded in train C-1/21431 as it was entering Atocha Renfe station.
A minute later, two more bombs exploded in the same train, in cars 4 and 5. A fourth bomb hidden in a backpack in Car 1 failed to detonate. The bomb was later detonated by the Spanish national police bomb squad TEDAX.
Meanwhile, train C-1/17305CA was also entering Atocha Renfe station. The train, coming from Alcala de Henares, was 500 metres away from the entrance to the station and about 800 metres from the platform when four more bombs were detonated, killing 108 people.
At 7:38 a.m. more explosions went off at El Pozo station, when two backpack bombs left in the upper floors of a cars 4 and 5 of double-decker train C-1/21435 were detonated. At the same, at Santa Eugenia station, a single explosion in train C-7/21713 killed 15 people.
Within a span of three minutes, of the 13 devices believed to have been placed by terrorists in the four commuter trains, 10 had exploded while three had failed to detonate.
A blue backpack was found on a platform at El Pozo station near the train between the second and the third cars and was brought to a police station. Inside the backpack police found a Spanish-made explosive, a detonator with a cell phone and a timer. The bomb was later detonated by TEDAX, while the cell phone opened up new lines of investigation.
Another suspicious device was also found in the train and later detonated by bomb squads.
The attack happened three days before the Spanish national elections. Many Spaniards blamed the attack on the pro-US administration in power at that time, saying it made the country a target for terrorists. The elections were eventually won by the opposition Socialist party.
Spain will honor the victims of the attack with a series of events including concerts and conferences in Madrid starting March 9.

STORYLINE
Powerful explosions rocked three busy Madrid train stations on Thursday just three days before general elections, killing 172 rush-hour commuters and wounding nearly 600 in Spain's worst terrorist attack ever.
The government blamed the armed Basque separatist group ETA, but the leader of Batasuna, an outlawed Basque party linked to the armed separatist group, denied it was behind the blasts and suggested "Arab resistance" elements were responsible.
Bombs exploded around 0730 local time (0630 GMT) in a commuter train arriving at Atocha station, a bustling hub for subway, commuter and long-distance trains in Spain's capital.
Blasts also rocked trains or platforms at two stations on a commuter line leading to Atocha.
Officials said there were 13 blasts altogether.
Shards of twisted metal were scattered by rails in the Atocha station.
People in tears streamed away from the station as rescue workers carried bodies covered in sheets of gold fabric.
People with bloodied faces sat on curbs, using mobile phones to tell loved ones they were alive.
Hospitals appealed for blood donations and buses were pressed into service as ambulances.
Rescue workers were overwhelmed, said one ambulance driver who went to Santa Eugenia station, about 10 kilometres (six miles) southeast of
Atocha.
The attacks traumatised Spain on the eve of Sunday's general election.
The campaign was largely dominated by separatist tensions in regions like the Basque country, with both the ruling conservative Popular Party and the opposition Socialists ruling out talks with ETA.
But the Socialists came in for withering criticism because a politician linked to the Socialist-run government in the Catalonia region, which also
has separatist sentiment, admitted meeting with ETA members in France in January.
The Socialists were lambasted as allegedly undermining Spain's fight against ETA.
It was the worst terrorist attack ever in Spain.
The deadliest attack blamed on ETA so far came in a Barcelona supermarket explosion in 1987.
It killed 21 people.
Spanish officials had said ETA was against the ropes following the arrest last year of more than 150 members or collaborators in Spain and France,
including the leaders of ETA's commando network.
Last year ETA killed three people, compared to 23 in 2000 and 15 in 2001.

CAPTION: Wednesday marks the five-year anniversary of Spain's worst terror attack. Coordinated train bombings in Madrid killed 191 people and injured more than 1800. (March 11)
[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST.
It has been five years since Spain suffered its worst terror attack ever.
NATS of Blast:
Coordinated train bombing which killed 191 people and injured more than 18 hundred.
The 2004 attack involved 10 backpack bombs -- that ripped through four packed commuter trains.
On Wednesday Spainairds remembered that fateful day and went about their normal business.
Trains remain busy -- passengers still using the same stations they did five years ago.
NAT POP:
Madrid residents say their lives are forever changed -- many saying its still difficult to watch the television news coverage of the anniversary.
In 2007 -- a memorial was unveiled outside the Atocha station -- the epicenter of the blasts.
Originally, the blasts were blamed on the Spanish seperatist group ETA. But, the investigation later revealed Al-Qaida was behind the attack. In October 2007, 21 people were found guilty on charges ranging from weapons possession to mass murder.

Five years on from the deadly train bombings in Madrid, victims and relatives of the horrific attacks which killed 191 people and injured over 1,800, prepare to mark the fifth anniversary on Wednesday, many still in grief, coming to terms with the shattering events.
The 2004 attack involving 10 backpack bombs that ripped through four packed commuter trains has been called Spain's most traumatic event since the Civil War of the 1930s.
Atocha station, one of Madrid's busiest hubs, was one of the stations hit in the wave of simultaneous attacks on the Spanish capital's rail network.
Smaller stations El Pozo and Santa Eugenia were also hit in the attacks.
Ecuadorian Hernan Gustavo, caught up in the bombings, was able to walk away from the train which exploded in Santa Eugenia Station.
Hernan now has to wear a brace due to spine damage he suffered.

On March 11, 2004, ten bombs exploded in quick succession across the commuter rail network in Madrid, Spain, killing 191 people in an attack linked to al-Qaida-inspired militants.
STORYLINE
Powerful explosions rocked three busy Madrid train stations on Thursday just three days before general elections, killing 172 rush-hour commuters and wounding nearly 600 in Spain's worst terrorist attack ever.
The government blamed the armed Basque separatist group ETA, but the leader of Batasuna, an outlawed Basque party linked to the armed separatist group, denied it was behind the blasts and suggested "Arab resistance" elements were responsible.
Bombs exploded around 0730 local time (0630 GMT) in a commuter train arriving at Atocha station, a bustling hub for subway, commuter and long-distance trains in Spain's capital.
Blasts also rocked trains or platforms at two stations on a commuter line leading to Atocha.
Officials said there were 13 blasts altogether.
Shards of twisted metal were scattered by rails in the Atocha station.
People in tears streamed away from the station as rescue workers carried bodies covered in sheets of gold fabric.
People with bloodied faces sat on curbs, using mobile phones to tell loved ones they were alive.
Hospitals appealed for blood donations and buses were pressed into service as ambulances.
Rescue workers were overwhelmed, said one ambulance driver who went to Santa Eugenia station, about 10 kilometres (six miles) southeast of
Atocha.
The attacks traumatised Spain on the eve of Sunday's general election.
The campaign was largely dominated by separatist tensions in regions like the Basque country, with both the ruling conservative Popular Party and the opposition Socialists ruling out talks with ETA.
But the Socialists came in for withering criticism because a politician linked to the Socialist-run government in the Catalonia region, which also

March 11, 2014 marks the tenth anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, the worst terrorist attack in Europe since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988. Ten bombings inside commuter trains traveling to three different stations in the city centre killed a total of 191 people and injured more than 1,800.
On March 11 2004 at around 7:30 a.m, four packed commuter trains were approaching Atocha Renfe, El Pozo and Santa Eugenia stations. The first bombing occurred at 7:37 a.m. when a backpack exploded in train C-1/21431 as it was entering Atocha Renfe station.
A minute later, two more bombs exploded in the same train, in cars 4 and 5. A fourth bomb hidden in a backpack in Car 1 failed to detonate. The bomb was later detonated by the Spanish national police bomb squad TEDAX.
Meanwhile, train C-1/17305CA was also entering Atocha Renfe station. The train, coming from Alcala de Henares, was 500 metres away from the entrance to the station and about 800 metres from the platform when four more bombs were detonated, killing 108 people.
At 7:38 a.m. more explosions went off at El Pozo station, when two backpack bombs left in the upper floors of a cars 4 and 5 of double-decker train C-1/21435 were detonated. At the same, at Santa Eugenia station, a single explosion in train C-7/21713 killed 15 people.
Within a span of three minutes, of the 13 devices believed to have been placed by terrorists in the four commuter trains, 10 had exploded while three had failed to detonate.
A blue backpack was found on a platform at El Pozo station near the train between the second and the third cars and was brought to a police station. Inside the backpack police found a Spanish-made explosive, a detonator with a cell phone and a timer. The bomb was later detonated by TEDAX, while the cell phone opened up new lines of investigation.
Another suspicious device was also found in the train and later detonated by bomb squads.
The attack happened three days before the Spanish national elections. Many Spaniards blamed the attack on the pro-US administration in power at that time, saying it made the country a target for terrorists. The elections were eventually won by the opposition Socialist party.
Spain will honor the victims of the attack with a series of events including concerts and conferences in Madrid starting March 9.

STORYLINE
Powerful explosions rocked three busy Madrid train stations on Thursday just three days before general elections, killing 172 rush-hour commuters and wounding nearly 600 in Spain's worst terrorist attack ever.
The government blamed the armed Basque separatist group ETA, but the leader of Batasuna, an outlawed Basque party linked to the armed separatist group, denied it was behind the blasts and suggested "Arab resistance" elements were responsible.
Bombs exploded around 0730 local time (0630 GMT) in a commuter train arriving at Atocha station, a bustling hub for subway, commuter and long-distance trains in Spain's capital.
Blasts also rocked trains or platforms at two stations on a commuter line leading to Atocha.
Officials said there were 13 blasts altogether.
Shards of twisted metal were scattered by rails in the Atocha station.
People in tears streamed away from the station as rescue workers carried bodies covered in sheets of gold fabric.
People with bloodied faces sat on curbs, using mobile phones to tell loved ones they were alive.
Hospitals appealed for blood donations and buses were pressed into service as ambulances.
Rescue workers were overwhelmed, said one ambulance driver who went to Santa Eugenia station, about 10 kilometres (six miles) southeast of
Atocha.
The attacks traumatised Spain on the eve of Sunday's general election.
The campaign was largely dominated by separatist tensions in regions like the Basque country, with both the ruling conservative Popular Party and the opposition Socialists ruling out talks with ETA.
But the Socialists came in for withering criticism because a politician linked to the Socialist-run government in the Catalonia region, which also
has separatist sentiment, admitted meeting with ETA members in France in January.
The Socialists were lambasted as allegedly undermining Spain's fight against ETA.
It was the worst terrorist attack ever in Spain.
The deadliest attack blamed on ETA so far came in a Barcelona supermarket explosion in 1987.
It killed 21 people.
Spanish officials had said ETA was against the ropes following the arrest last year of more than 150 members or collaborators in Spain and France,
including the leaders of ETA's commando network.
Last year ETA killed three people, compared to 23 in 2000 and 15 in 2001.

Some who were feeling really good in the past have now suffered a relapse and still need psychological support and medication, and now that we are close to the 5th anniversary, they are quite agitated."

STORYLINE:
Five years on from the deadly train bombings in Madrid, victims and relatives of the horrific attacks which killed 191 people and injured over 1,800, prepare to mark the fifth anniversary on Wednesday, many still in grief, coming to terms with the shattering events.
The 2004 attack involving 10 backpack bombs that ripped through four packed commuter trains has been called Spain's most traumatic event since the Civil War of the 1930s.
Atocha station, one of Madrid's busiest hubs, was one of the stations hit in the wave of simultaneous attacks on the Spanish capital's rail network.
Smaller stations El Pozo and Santa Eugenia were also hit in the attacks.
Ecuadorian Hernan Gustavo, caught up in the bombings, was able to walk away from the train which exploded in Santa Eugenia Station.
Hernan now has to wear a brace due to spine damage he suffered.

On 11 March 2004, they would both be lucky to survive that usually mundane and most routine of journeys when a bomb ripped through their train.

2004 Madrid train bombings
The 2004 Madrid train bombings (also known in Spain as 11-M) were nearly simultaneous, coordinated bombings against the Cercanías commuter train system of Madrid, Spain, on the morning of 11 March 2004 – three days before Spain's general elections. The explosions killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800. The official investigation by the Spanish judiciary found that the attacks were directed by an al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist cell, although no direct al-Qaeda participation has been established. Though they had no role in the planning or implementation, the Spanish miners who sold the explosives to the terrorists were also arrested.
Controversy regarding the handling and representation of the bombings by the government arose, with Spain's two main political parties (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and Partido Popular (PP)), accusing each other of concealing or distorting evidence for electoral reasons. The bombings occurred three days before general elections in which incumbent José María Aznar's PP was defeated. Immediately after the bombing, leaders of the PP claimed evidence indicating the Basque separatist organization, ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) was responsible for the bombings, while Islamist responsibility would have had the opposite effect, as it would have been seen as a consequence of the PP government taking Spain into the Iraq War, a policy extremely unpopular with Spaniards. Nationwide demonstrations and protests followed the attacks asking the government to tell the truth. The predominant view among political analysts is that the Aznar administration lost the general elections as a result of the handling and representation of the terrorist attacks, rather than because of the bombings per se.
