MADRID, March 17 (Xinhuanet) -- The explosives used
in the deadly train bombings in Madrid were made only last month by a company in
northern Spain, a major Spanish newspaper said on Wednesday.
The dynamite in the bombs was manufactured by the Union de Explosivos Espanoles plant at Paramo de Masa near
Burgos, reported the influential El Pais, quoting Spanish investigators.
The seven copper detonators, discovered by police
after the blasts in a van in the Madrid suburb of Alcala de Henares, were also
made by the company.
The detonators were stolen from a granite quarry in
the mountains to the north of Madrid, according to the report.
Investigators are trying to find out how the bombers
managed to get these explosives.
The deadly train bombings shook Madrid on March 11,
killing 201 and wounding more than 1,400 others. Enditem |
