Spain still on alert, one month later

A month after the Madrid train-bomb massacre, 46 people are still being treated in hospital while the country remains on alert for possible further attacks.

Two of the 46 are in serious condition.

In the March 11 attacks, 10 bombs ripped through four commuter trains during the Thursday morning rush hour, killing 191 people in the country’s worst terrorist attack.

Over the past four weeks, more than 1,800 people were treated for injuries in 15 hospitals in and around Madrid.

Security has been stepped up across the country after a letter and a video warned of more attacks soon.

Authorities urged people to be on their guard against possible attacks during the Easter holiday.

Dozens of police and soldiers guarded airports and train and bus stations as well as subways.

Energy plants and reservoirs were also being watched.

Seventeen people, 13 of them Moroccan, have been charged in connection with the bombings.

Authorities believe that the main culprits are either behind bars or were killed when seven terrorist suspects blew themselves up last Saturday as police prepared to storm their apartment in southern Madrid. At least six more suspects are still being sought by police.
