Ten powerful explosions tore through trains and train stations in Madrid on Thursday just days before Spain's general elections, killing at least 190 people and injuring 1,240.
A total of 10 bombs, nearly all in backpacks, exploded in a 15-minute span along nine miles of a commuter line, Interior Minister Angel Acebes said. Police found and detonated three more.
"I saw many things explode in the air, I don't know, it was horrible," said Juani Fernandez, a civil servant who was on the platform waiting to go to work. "People started to scream and run, some bumping into each other and as we ran there was another explosion. I saw people with blood pouring from them, people on the ground."
