170 Killed, 600 Injured in Madrid

MADRID, Spain — More than 170 were killed and 600 wounded Thursday after powerful explosions rocked three Madrid train stations just three days before Spain's general elections.

No word yet at Sanctificarnos from Jesus -- I hope he's okay.

Right now the attack is being blamed on Basqe separatists, but Al Quaida involvement has not been ruled out.

Jesus has posted re the bombings - he and his family are ok - they're worried about his brother in law though.

Thanks for asking. All family is fine. My brother in law went through the train station about 30 minutes before the first bombs. When he heard about it all later, he didn´t think of giving us a call. We called his boss to find out he was okay, and chewed his ear off when he came home :)

Internet connections are horrible, so posting has been really difficult.

Thanks again for concerns.
