On Wednesday, the Spanish National Court said that they will finish the hearings of the 28 people suspected to be involved in the train attacks in 2004. The attacks were said to be Muslims acting on behalf of Al-Qaida, 191 people died and 1,841 were wounded. For the eight head suspects, some think that they should be charged with 191 counts of murder and 1,841 attempts at murder.
I found it interesting that this was such a big story in the Netherlands, even though it is about Spain. I am noticing that there is more international news in the Netherlands, as compared to the U.S. I think that it has to do a lot to do with the fact that there are so many countries in a closer proximity. They are all connected because of the Euro as well, which keeps the countries dependent and connected to each other.
