A Spanish court Wednesday found 21 people guilty of involvement in the Madrid train bombings, which killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800 on March 11, 2004.
The chief judge of the anti-terrorism court Javier Gomez Bermudez delivered the verdicts, sentencing Moroccan Jamal Zougam and Spaniard Emilio Suarez Trashorras to some 40,000 years in prison respectively.
The court, however, acquitted seven of the 28 accused, including Rabei Osman el-Sayed, who had allegedly masterminded the attack.
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero welcomed the verdicts. "Today justice was done," he said.
The barbaric attacks have "left a deep imprint of pain on our collective memory, which stays with us as a homage to the victims," he said.聽
