The 11-M trial begins

So, after nearly three years, the trial of 29 people alleged to have plotted to blow up trains in Madrid begins today. Let's hope that the political parties and activist groups stay out of it and allow the court to do its job. It certainly will be interesting to see if any of the suspects break down under cross-examination and accuse Jesús de Polanco of planting the bombs.

South of Watford will probably be the place to check for updates.

    Hi Tom, I will indeed be writing about the trial but in a different place. The thought of weighing down my blog with posts about a single topic has motivated me to blow the dust off another one that I created a few months ago with the intention of debunking the conspiracy theories. Now I can do that and write about the trial.

    Good work Graeme - looks really good. I'll keep an eye on it.

    I read in El Pais the other day that one of the suspects, who's being accused of negotiating with ETA, saying, "How can I have talked to ETA - I don't even speak Spanish" which is a fair point in his defence. Unless he used a translator of course.
