Mourner accuses Aznar at Madrid funeral

WORLD leaders dressed in black joined Spanish royalty and families of the 190 victims of Madrid’s train bombings at a state funeral yesterday, honouring those killed in the nation’s worst terrorist attack.

On a cold, overcast day, King Juan Carlos and the rest of the royal family were joined by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, US Secretary of State Colin Powell, French President Jacques Chirac, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Prince Charles and more than a dozen other heads of state or government in the packed, 19th-century Almudena Cathedral for the Mass.

"We have cried, and we have cried together," Spanish Cardinal Antonio Rouco Varela told the congregation.
