2004 Madrid train bombings

Full article: 2004 Madrid train bombings

The 2004 Madrid train bombings killed 191 people, like many such events, was preceded by a drill. NATO Secretary General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, who visited Madrid on 1 March 2004, 3 days before the exercise, described it as a "coincidence" that on 4 March 2004, there was an anti-terrorist exercise (CMX-04) which anticipated killing 200 people, finishing just a few hours before the bombings.

Spain			Seemingly a tropical easy-going country on the southern border of Europe. Spain has had trouble running a “death squad-free” democracy since Franco retired. Spain has seen the bloodiest post Gladio 1 terror attack take place in Madrid in 2004, and was a battleground of the Ifs and GRU during the 2010s.
