Lawyers demand acquittal for Madrid bombing suspects
Defence lawyers for an Egyptian accused of masterminding the 2004 Madrid train bombings and a Moroccan who allegedly planted the explosives demanded their acquittals on the last day of trial for 28 people charged in the terror attacks.
The lawyers were the last to make closing arguments in the four-month trial, Europe’s biggest terrorism court case. Most of the defendants later proclaimed their innocence in final statements, and some condemned terrorism.
