RESOLUTION
Condemning the terrorist bombing attacks in Madrid that occurred on
March 11, 2004.
Whereas on March 11, 2004, a violent, massive, and coordinated series of bombing
attacks were directed against the commuter rail network in Madrid at the
height of morning rush hour, marking one of the worst terrorist attacks
in the history of the Kingdom of Spain;
Whereas the cowardly attacks consisted of 10 bomb explosions at the Santa
Eugenia and El Pozo stations in Madrid and aboard a train entering
Madrid's crowded central Atocha station;
Whereas tragically at least 200 individuals were killed and at least 1,200
individuals were wounded in these attacks;
Whereas Spanish authorities averted further casualties by successfully defusing
three other bombs;
Whereas Spain has been an ally of the United States in the global war on
terrorism;
Whereas the acts of murder committed on March 11, 2004, were cowardly and brutal
manifestations of terrorism;
Whereas the Government of Spain immediately condemned the terrorist attacks in
the strongest possible terms and has vowed to bring the perpetrators of
the terrorist attacks to justice at all costs; and
Whereas the United States and Spain equally abhor and denounce these acts of
terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the terrorist
bombing attacks in Madrid that occurred on March 11, 2004;
(2) expresses its condolences to the families of the
individuals murdered in the terrorist attacks, expresses its
sympathies to the individuals injured in the attacks, and
conveys its hope for the rapid and complete recovery of all
such injured individuals;
(3) expresses its condolences to the people and Government
of the Kingdom of Spain for the losses they have suffered; and
(4) expresses its solidarity with Spain and all other
countries which stand united against terrorism and which work
together to bring to justice the perpetrators of these and
other terrorist attacks.
