Four Islamic militants are due to go on trial in Madrid for aiding fugitives from the Madrid train bombings of 2004, a National Court spokesman has said

Prosecutor Miguel Angel Carballo, at Spain's National Court, seeks sentences of eight to 13 years in prison against the four male suspects, who include a Moroccan, an Algerian, a Tunisian, and a fourth man whose nationality was not immediately disclosed, said the spokesman, who by custom is not identified. The prosecutor says the suspects provided clandestine lodging in Madrid and in a Barcelona suburb, as well as other aid to various fugitives who were directly implicated in the Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800, the spokesman said. Spanish courts have already convicted 14 Islamic militants for their roles in the train bombings. Additionally, seven other prime Islamic suspects in the attacks blew themselves up three weeks after the train bombings as police closed in on their hideout in a Madrid suburb. That explosion also killed a police officer and wounded various others. The seventh anniversary of the train bombings was on March 11, 2011.
