A Spanish judge on Tuesday ordered 29 people to stand trial for their role in the 2004 train bombings in Madrid, Spain’s worst terrorist attack.

Of the 29, six are charged with killing 191 people and injuring another 1,755 when 10 backpacks and sports bags packed with explosives were detonated by mobile telephones on four commuter trains at rush hour on March 11 2004.
