Key suspects behind the 11M attacks in Madrid die in Lagenes explosion

Spanish police are still trying to clarify how many people died in the explosions in a flat in Madrid the day before yesterday. The acting Interior Minster, Angel Acebes, confirmed that at least three key suspects in the Madrid train bombings case - a Tunisian, Sarhane Ben Abdelmajid Fakhet, Jamal Ahmidan, and Abdennabi Kounjaa, a Moroccan - were among those killed in Saturday's suicide blast.

This afternoon police investigating the events of Saturday have found evidence that a fifth person died in the explosion, but they still do not know if he or she formed part of the group of terrorists believed to be behind last months attacks.

In a cupboard which survived the huge explosion, bags containing 10kg (22lb) of dynamite connected to detonators suggest that the bombing campaign against Madrid had not been, and still may not be, over. Two hundred detonators were also found. And according to reports in the Spanish newspaper ABC today, just hours before the terrorists killed themselves in Leganes on Saturday, the newspaper received a fax signed by "Abu Dujana al-Afgani, Ansar Group, al-Qaida in Europe", warning of more strikes unless Spain withdrew its troops from Iraq and Afghanistan within 24 hours.
