In a defining moment for the Spanish justice system, Moroccan national Jamal Zougam was convicted for his role in the 2004 train bombings in Madrid. The attacks, which shocked the nation and reverberated across the world, claimed the lives of 191 people and left over 2,000 injured. Zougam was identified as one of the key perpetrators, responsible for planting explosives on one of the targeted commuter trains. His conviction not only brought a sense of closure to the victims' families, but also highlighted Spain's commitment to combatting terrorism. The trial, which lasted for years, revealed the complex network of individuals involved in planning and carrying out the devastating attacks. Spain's resolute dedication to justice was further demonstrated by the subsequent sentencing of additional co-conspirators and masterminds behind the bombings. With this landmark verdict, Spain sent a powerful message that terrorism will not prevail, and that those who seek to cause harm will be held accountable. #MadridBombings #JusticeServed #TerrorismTrial
