A Spanish judge has charged 29 people in connection with the Madrid train bombings of March 2004 which claimed 191 lives and left nearly 2,000 injured.
An official report concluded that the attacks had been carried out by an independent local cell of Islamic fundamentalists that was inspired by, but not directed by, al-Qaeda.
After a two-year investigation, Judge Juan Del Olmo charged five people with 191 counts of murder and 1,755 attempted murders. The others were charged with collaboration.
Most of those charged are Moroccan nationals, and the indictments run to almost 1,500 pages.
The trial is expected to go ahead early next year and to last 12 months.
