A Spanish court has delivered guilty verdicts on four of the leading defendants in the trial of suspects in the Madrid train bombings of March 2004.
Moroccan Jamal Zougam and Spaniard Emilio Trashorras were among those found guilty of murder. But one of those accused of masterminding the plot, Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, was acquitted.
Four men were found guilty of planning and carrying out the attacks and given 30 years for each of the 191 people killed and 18 years for each of the 1,841 injured.
Of the nine Spaniards on trial, three were acquitted through lack of evidence. All of the 28 accused had pleaded innocent during the four-month trial.
What is your reaction to the verdicts? Are you in Spain? Were you affected by the bombings? What lessons have been learned since the attacks?
