Madrid train bombings: missing evidence fuels conspiracy theories
The 11 March 2004 attacks in Madrid left 191 dead and 1,858 injured, but the official investigation has been marked by the absence of key evidence. The carriages where the bombs exploded disappeared, and forensic experts reported that the samples were insufficient. Forensic examiner Carmen Baladía stated that no shrapnel remains were found in the bodies, although the backpack found in Vallecas contained screws and nails.
Some analysts point to a false flag orchestrated by NATO and its intelligence networks, linking the old Gladio network and Cold War actors. Testimony is cited that the NATO-sponsored CMX operation of March 2004 coincided with the date of the attack. Others suggest the official narrative was designed to favour a pro-European government and the departure of the Partido Popular.
The debate also includes accusations that forensic evidence was manipulated: the phrase “goma dos eco” in the prosecutor's office and the alleged removal of evidence from the trains. The involvement of Spanish police and RENFE is mentioned, and the possibility of an international espionage operation involving France and the United States is raised.
