118833
MADRID (International Herald-Tribune) - As a verdict was due here Wednesday in the biggest Islamic terrorism trial in Europe, the government put security forces on alert and prepared new memorial services for the 191 people who were killed when 10 bombs packed with nails exploded on commuter trains in this capital on March 11, 2004. A three-judge panel was set to read out the verdicts and sentences after nearly five months of testimony by hundreds of witnesses, a spider's web of arguments by more than 40 attorneys and sporadic hunger strikes by several of the 28 defendants - most of them young Muslim men of North African origin who are accused of executing the plot out of allegiance to Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda.
