Three years after that 11 March 2004, when ten bombs exploded on four trains in Madrid, killing 192 people and injuring almost two thousand more, there was a trial.

It lasted four and a half months and delivered a 200-volume judgement. It convicted 21 of the 28 defendants, which, added together, amounted to more than 120,500 years in prison.

However, this historic trial never determined from whose mouth the order came to plant explosives on trains packed with passengers travelling to Madrid.

This Monday, at the same time as the 20th anniversary of Spain's - and Europe's - biggest terrorist attack, any possibility of further investigation into the bombing has been ruled out.

Because according to the Spanish Penal Code of two decades ago, the statute of limitations for any terrorist offence was 20 years.

But for the majority association that brings together people who survived the attack and relatives of those who died there - Asociacion 11M Afectados del Terrorismo - to advocate the non-prescription is to continue feeding conspiracy theories about who was behind the explosions in Madrid.
