Wide shot of court building STORYLINE: The Madrid train bombing trial began on Thursday, nearly three years after the attacks killed 191 Madrid rush-hour commuters. 29 suspects face charges in the bombings. The case promises to be spectacular, and highly emotional, dredging up terrifying memories of one of Spain's darkest days. Some 100 experts and 600 witnesses are likely to be called, among them people who had their lives shattered in the March 11, 2004 blasts. Seven lead defendants face possible jail terms of 30 years for each of the killings and 18 years apiece for 1,820 attempted murders. But under Spanish law, the maximum time anyone can serve for a terror-related conviction is 40 years. The attack, involving 10 backpack bombs that ripped through four packed commuter trains, has been called modern Spain's most traumatic event since the 1930s civil war. The proceedings will be held under extremely tight security at a trade fair pavilion because the premises of the National Court, which handles terrorism case, were deemed too small. Testimony is expected to last more than five months and a verdict is expected late October. Spain has raised its three-stage security alert level to the middle rung as a precautionary measure.
