On that date in 2004, the Spanish capital was plunged into chaos as 10 bombs devastated four commuter trains during the early-morning rush hour. A year earlier, Aznar’s government had decided to join the US-led invasion of Iraq, despite widespread public opposition. And in the following months, Bin Laden had threatened revenge attacks on countries supporting the invasion.
And Al-Qaeda itself claimed responsibility for the attacks saying it was in response to Spain’s involvement in the Iraq war.
