Madrid bombing suspect pleads guilty

CNN: Madrid bombing suspect pleads guilty

A 16-year-old boy pleaded guilty Tuesday to carrying explosives used in the Madrid terror bombings that killed 191 people.

He was sentenced to six years in a juvenile detention center and five years probation.

The brief court session marked the first trial in connection with the March 11 attacks. The boy, whose identity was not disclosed, was shielded by a screen in the high-security courtroom.

Well, he certainly won't do that again.

Until 2010.

In the US, we don't sit around and fret about what happens when Timothy McVeigh gets out.

That's what I like about this country.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
