I'm not quite sure how the jury reached the verdict that let a self-confessed mastermind terrorist plotter go free. Read on!

Twenty-one of 28 defendants were found guilty on Wednesday in the 2004 Madrid train bombings, but another accused ringleader was acquitted in connection with Europe's worst Islamic terror attack.

Judge Javier Gomez Bermudez read the verdicts in a quiet courtroom, with heavy security, including bomb-sniffing dogs and police helicopters, outside. The backpack bomb attacks killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800 on March 11, 2004.
