Spanish authorities have discovered a bomb on a special railway line for high-speed trains between Madrid and Tres Cantos, describing it as similar to the bomb used in last month's terrorist attacks in Madrid. The Spanish Interior Minister stated on Friday that a railway employee reported the presence of a suspicious package, and police found 10 kilograms of explosives and a detonator inside it. It is still unclear who planted the bomb. Meanwhile, in Madrid, a judge released four suspects who had previously been arrested in connection with the bombings. At the same time, the fifteenth suspect was charged. Apparently, the police evidence was insufficient to charge the released individuals, however, they have been asked to remain in contact with the authorities.
