13h 13min, mar 10, 2004 y - A series of coordinated bombings in Madrid's commuter train system killed 191 people and injuring 1,800 more. A Spanish prosecutor determined in 2006 that the attacks were carried out by a group that included Moroccan, Egyptian and Spanish Islamic extremists, who responded to an appeal by Osama bin Laden to affiliated groups to attack countries that participated in the war against Iraq. Osama and his immediate underlings, however, were not involved in the attacks' planning. (March)
