Survivors and relatives of those killed were shocked by what many saw as the lenient sentences handed down in the Madrid bombing trial.
Clara Escribano, who was traveling to work on the morning of March 11, 2004, when a bomb exploded on her train, said the verdict was a "great disappointment."
The 49-year old paediatric nurse underwent three operations and is deaf in one ear.
"I don't have the words to explain how I feel," she said.
Still unable to even walk past the station, she said she found it hard to believe that only Jamal Zougam and Othman el-Gnaoui were found guilty of carrying out the attacks.
"As the verdicts were read out, my stomach began to churn, and my heart beat faster," said Escribano, from the working class district of Santa Eugenia in Madrid.
"The worst moment was when Carmen Toros [the wife of Emilio Trashorras] was found not guilty. Her little smile ... it was a moment of great disappointment for the victims in the courtroom. I cannot believe that these other people will be out in the street in two days ... we have to accept the court's verdicts but at the moment I am feeling very bad," she said.
Angeles Pedraza, who lost her 25-year-old daughter in the train bombings, said that she still had not been able to take in all of the judgments, and "refused to accept" they are right. Pedraza had been hoping to find some kind of closure in the verdict, but said: "It all happened so quickly that I couldn't understand everything -- I couldn't hear some of the names being read out. Tonight I will have to sit down and have a think and tomorrow we shall carry on the fight."
Victims' associations have already stated that they intend to appeal against the sentences at the supreme court.
Archeologists in Peru on Thursday said they found the 5,000-year-old remains of a noblewoman at the sacred city of Caral, revealing the important role played by women in the oldest center of civilization in the Americas. “What has been discovered corresponds to a woman who apparently had elevated status, an elite woman,” archeologist David Palomino said. The mummy was found in Aspero, a sacred site within the city of Caral that was a garbage dump for more than 30 years until becoming an archeological site in the 1990s. Palomino said the carefully preserved remains, dating to 3,000BC, contained skin, part of the
‘WATER WARFARE’: A Pakistani official called India’s suspension of a 65-year-old treaty on the sharing of waters from the Indus River ‘a cowardly, illegal move’ Pakistan yesterday canceled visas for Indian nationals, closed its airspace for all Indian-owned or operated airlines, and suspended all trade with India, including to and from any third country. The retaliatory measures follow India’s decision to suspend visas for Pakistani nationals in the aftermath of a deadly attack by shooters in Kashmir that killed 26 people, mostly tourists. The rare attack on civilians shocked and outraged India and prompted calls for action against their country’s archenemy, Pakistan. New Delhi did not publicly produce evidence connecting the attack to its neighbor, but said it had “cross-border” links to Pakistan. Pakistan denied any connection to
TRUMP EFFECT: The win capped one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Canadian political history after the Conservatives had led the Liberals by more than 20 points Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday pledged to win US President Donald Trump’s trade war after winning Canada’s election and leading his Liberal Party to another term in power. Following a campaign dominated by Trump’s tariffs and annexation threats, Carney promised to chart “a new path forward” in a world “fundamentally changed” by a US that is newly hostile to free trade. “We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,” said Carney, who led the central banks of Canada and the UK before entering politics earlier this year. “We will win this trade war and
Armed with 4,000 eggs and a truckload of sugar and cream, French pastry chefs on Wednesday completed a 121.8m-long strawberry cake that they have claimed is the world’s longest ever made. Youssef El Gatou brought together 20 chefs to make the 1.2 tonne masterpiece that took a week to complete and was set out on tables in an ice rink in the Paris suburb town of Argenteuil for residents to inspect. The effort overtook a 100.48m-long strawberry cake made in the Italian town of San Mauro Torinese in 2019. El Gatou’s cake also used 350kg of strawberries, 150kg of sugar and 415kg of
