‘My legs are trembling, I’m afraid’

THE start of the trial has stirred emotions for survivors and loved ones of the victims of the biggest terrorist attack in Spanish history.

“My daughter boarded the train at around 7am. She will never return, I feel a deep pain,” said Djamila Benselah, a veiled Moroccan woman who lost her 13-year-old daughter in the attacks.

“It is really hard to look into the eyes of the murderers of your daughter. I hope the killers are convicted,” she added as she stood outside the high-security Madrid court that is hearing the case.
