Bermúdez changed at the last minute Case 11-M

 


 





 


 

EDITORIAL OPINION

A sentence with brake and reverse


FOR MISSING some proof of the significance of the report tomorrow Iglesias will appear in bookstores, the deputy director of THE WORLD reveals Casimiro García-Abadilla in the preface of the book that Judge Gómez Bermúdez was about to propose to his colleagues a sentence that would have been very consistent with the main conclusions of this chemical, the trains did not explode but Titadyn Goma 2 ECO and the police handled the investigation. It hardly one week before the public presentation of the sentence, while chairman of the Board and speaker told a judge friend of his that would not only acquitted the alleged masterminds of the plot, as was the case, but also Trashorras only be sentenced for trafficking in explosives and would deduct controls testimony against law enforcement.

the world knew this information and promised to keep it secret until it was consummated, and he did. Now García-Abadilla has corroborated the facts reconstructed and the interlocutor of the court. We do not talk, then riding a mere rumor.

is obvious that the acquittal of Trashorras as the author of the slaughter had not only removed the roof of the official version, as happened with the masterminds, but its very foundation . The whole building had collapsed with a crash and Leganés command would have been floating in space, no known suppliers of explosives. If in addition one or several policemen, the most obvious candidate was Sánchez Manzano - had been "little Sherry" as Bermúdez himself had forecast to various witnesses, the political scandal would have been uppercase and the circumstances of the victory of the PSOE in 2004 would have been questioned. Why during this decisive week Judge Bermúdez first took the brakes on those efforts righteous and then backed down on two of its three goals? Did you get pressure from the government? Did you consider the precariousness of their appeal at the head of the Criminal Chamber of the Court? "Pondered the effect a sentence and would have had in receiving the controversial book by his wife? The proof that in any case, their arguments were unheard of policies is in the format that made the decision: emphasizing all that supported the Government against the doubts and inquiries of our own newspaper and camouflaging the acquittal of the 'brains'.

This sequence of events takes a great relief now because in the end goes to show that Bermúdez, man undoubtedly perceptive and intelligent, and realized what Antonio Iglesias shows when reviewing the analysis of explosives: the chemistry refuted version of the "Goma 2 ECO and better now." So pulled the ruse that it could be a second explosive feigning ignorance that trains so there was no trail was the first .

Thus, we believe they should be Justice a second chance to find out what happened on 11-M. Could get through the fringes still investigating judge Velasco, Del Olmo disastrous successor, for example detention in Morocco of course Leganés floor tenant, but no one sees enough momentum in that direction. More feasible would be one of the convicted request a review of the sentence from a new fact and the report Iglesias or victims sued the then chief of the EOD and other policemen. memory of the dead and the dignity of the living require someone to raise in court the political obstacle that, by all indications, Gómez Bermúdez applied on their intelligence and awareness in October 2007.

11-M, RESEARCH / New revelations

Bermúdez changed at the last minute Case 11-M

A week before notifying a judge said that only condemn Trashorras for trafficking in explosives and I was going to deduct police officers testified against Madrid

The setback to the official version of 11-M led to the decision of the High Court was about to be, in fact, a cataclysm. A week before issuing the ruling, Presiding Judge Javier Gomez Bermudez, corrected two essential elements that have shaken the version presented by the prosecution.

late October 2007, the president of the Criminal Division sent confidentially to a judge's ruling three key aspects relating to the masterminds, explosives and potential liability prison officials. But what came out was a plan B in which only survived the absence of masterminds.

By contrast, a miner from Asturias and loaded with explosives killed 11-M and no member of the Security Forces had to face any investigation.

broken confidences consist of the presiding judge in Titadyn (The Sphere Books) , which this newspaper's deputy director, Casimiro Garcia-Abadilla, prefaces the macroinforme on 11-M explosives produced by a of the experts who served on the court, the chemical Antonio Churches.

"A week before the decision is publicly notified, Gómez Bermúdez conveyed confidentially to a judge of the same three conclusions: 1. Not set the mastermind of the attack, contrary to what the prosecution claimed. 2. Deductions would testify for some control of bodies and state security forces. 3. Trashorras miner would not be condemned as responsible for the attacks, but only for trafficking explosives. "

"This information," he continues, "it sent the director of THE WORLD third person, asked us to keep it secret until 31 October. So we did. Later I myself have had the chance to check with the source, in fact, that was the intention of the speaker to just one week to make public the statement. "

However, only one of these points, the intellectual authors, survived the intense days preceding the public presentation of the sentence. The other two were not met. The truth is that if they had been heading the court, supplemented by Alfonso Guevara and Fernando Garcia Nicolas, the romp to the theory held by the prosecution would have been tremendous.

"At least two of these conclusions (the second and third), which had been a major setback to the written conclusions of the prosecution and that would put into question the outstanding investigative work of police officers had to do with the explosives. "

"If the explosive used by terrorists does not appear that outside Goma 2 ECO, the role of Trashorras was reduced to a mere provider of the the band of the Chinese. That would have allowed his conviction for trafficking, not mass murder. "

With regard to the deductions of testimony, the conduct of the trial itself seemed to them inevitable. However, the court made by the Supreme exit and shook them off before putting on the ground that it was necessary to wait to see what was proven the High Court. The Supreme Court ruled, but the court of the High Court not to do it again.

victims, disappointed, have repeatedly stated that Gomez Bermudez had assured them that some witnesses would "little of Jerez." Ie, to prosecute prominent commanders for crimes such as forgery of public documents, perjury, concealment or tampering with evidence, and so on. "I myself have heard the judge pronounce the sentence Gómez Bermúdez and I have no doubt that this was his will," added García-Abadilla in Titadyn. The list of candidates names were clear: the former head of Juan Jesus Sanchez Manzano EOD ; l a chemical that made the first analysis ; UCO Col. Felix Hernandez and the subject was confident contact Zouhier , the head of the UCAO, Domingo Castaño , and the instructor of the police inquiries about the 11-M . They claimed the allegations.

But there sentence and there was nothing. Emilio Suarez Trashorras and his explosive Spaniard took 40,000 years in prison and no ranking police found his name in the ruling.

So what happened? García-Abadilla offers two explanations: the evil and the probable. The first holds that "the Government, first interested in a statement that seems as much as possible to the findings of his office, offered him something related to your career. Maybe the support to new resources to snatch the presidency of the Criminal Division? Perhaps the president of the Hearing? No I think Gomez Bermudez has been bought so crudely, though his wife, Elisa Beni, in his book The solitude of the judge, suggests various pressures and more or less suggestive messages. "

However, the most likely answer is another. "The judge probably acted knowing that his sentence, as we wrote, would be welcomed by the Government. Gómez Bermúdez seems that interacted with Rubalcaba, but that their relationship with him was not smooth. However, if it was with the Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega, with whom he had several conversations. Beni, in the aforementioned book, cites a compliment on Fernandez de la Vega at her husband. "

In any case, both interpretations are developed on the same stage. "It's hard to go against the thesis that justified the unjustifiable. It was, indeed, very hard question an account of the facts that underlay the official truth about the 11-M, and would have been even harder to sit on the bench at some of those who made an elaborate cover-up about what happened '.

court's president backed off only two crossings of the sentence, but he used the inertia of his TV appearance to attack some of the information published in this journal. "If the sentence was a cold shower for those who expected a verdict in accordance with the development of the hearing, the presentation by Gomez Bermudez himself of it was an unprecedented and unjustified attack on a media ( THE WORLD), just the one that had upheld the judge's action against the attacks of those who were too reluctant to accept the account and creative theories of the prosecution. " This unprecedented

presentation was also harvest Bermúdez's own exclusive "The statement he read to reporters by the rapporteur, which was a subjective and biased view of the court, was not even agreed with the other two members of the Board. Later I had the chance to ask Alfonso Gomez Bermudez Guevara if they had taught him and Fernando García Nicolás read the letter to the media. 'No. For me it was a surprise. He said he was going to read some conclusions, but the letter did not teach us'. "

A judge who knows the president of the Criminal Division interprets what happened: "'What did with his incomprehensible public presentation was to seek support from the media that he knew they would applaud the implicit criticism over the world to not crush it by an awkward sentence to the official thesis. Somehow, he used as a shield WORLD address these critical '. "

Having the discretion provided by law, someone who knows him well believes that the judge acted "taking into account their interests." "In other words, I do not believe he did anything contrary to his convictions, but he thought of the effect of the court and served accordingly, "he added.

The fact is that the result of what happened at the end of October was that "the man who had aroused the greatest expectations of the knowledge of the truth about the 11-M not only endorsed a statement that betrayed its own criteria (expressed , as already said, just days before a confidential basis), but used the day of its submission to attack more than half had worked to bring new information to the investigation. "

To be attractive, the impact on the work of this newspaper was not the most relevant. "With his change of position, Gómez Bermúdez not only betrayed those who expected a more courageous: he has left victims without shelter in their just desire to know the truth and, above all, he has betrayed himself. "

acquires is where the expert's sense Antonio Iglesias to review all data and analysis gathered in the three months through macropericial. "Open a new hope to know the truth. I use the words of Gomez Bermudez collected in a revealing interview he did with Esther Esteban in October 2006: 'There is still a matter of kicking GAL. And so will with 11-M. Whenever you see a new development, whether they appear before, during or after the trial, you can open a new investigation. That is the English judicial system. I'm sure you will discover the truth, can take more or less years. " So be it. "

genuine search for truth

final Juggling with detachable from the ruling came after 57 days of trial that deserved the unanimous praise for the president. "Gómez Bermúdez acted from the beginning as a real orchestra," says Garcia-Abadilla in 'Titadyn'. "He known samples of the record better than anyone. Authoritatively handled interrogations. Tax cut to Sanchez when he thought it was overstepping, creating moments of great tension in the room, always crowded. "

At least in that phase of trial, before starting to chew all the keys of the sentence and sparking each of them ", the intention seemed commendable. "I honestly believe that Gómez Bermúdez undertook a difficult task to overcome during the hearing. It's not easy always kept aware of all for many hours and days without losing your cool, knowing maintained in place without abuse, without losing his composure. And I think his conduct the hearing involved a genuine desire to know the truth, within the logical limits which could be moved and marked by a summary came full of holes. "

All this, moreover, in circumstances that were never produced. It was a televised trial during which Gómez Bermúdez was open to talking with all media, including those who had recently blasted him for suggesting that a sentence could be "open." "We were facing an unusual behavior. Certainly, with skill and know-how, Gómez Bermúdez became a star much brighter than the hitherto only star of our universe judicial, Baltasar Garzon. " A charge shaky

Gomez Bermudez was the first day of trial of 11-M with his position "precarious" as recalled Garcia-Abadilla. On his appointment as chairman of the Criminal Division of hung the threat of another cancellation, then it was two-that without it would not have affected the trial itself would have created a delicate situation. In fact, Gomez Bermudez presided over the court simply 11-M since he, as chairman of the Board, wanted to do, and not because it appropriate.

his wife's book includes a protest about it. "And you can not, ever, work surrounded by the serenity necessary? Is it not possible ...?», said when he learned in May 2007, in the trial, the prosecutor supported the annulment of his appointment.

The first cancellation was due to the action of another candidate of the hearing, Judge José Ricardo de Prada. The second was due to an action brought by a judicial colleague also Baltasar Garzon, who aspired to the job. The third appointment was again used by Prada in two ways, one of which was supported by taxation. The cycle of appointment-only resort was closed in January 2008, when the sentence was handed down March 11.

11-M, RESEARCH / New revelations


judges and victims Slap

The book's wife reproach Bermúdez received unanimous
Madrid

To everyone's amazement, three weeks after the ruling on the slaughter was released a book about the trial written by the president's wife, Elisa Beni. The loneliness of the judge (Temas de Hoy) received no praise and yes a barrage of criticism from the legal world and the victims themselves.

tougher response to the presiding judge who came from throughout the trial he sat at his right hand. Judge Alfonso Guevara Gómez Bermúdez felt that it had acted with "disloyalty as a friend, partner and president" and described as "hurtful" some reviews of the book, whose preparation had not news. It was the only judge who lost out compared to the more correct performance of the author's husband. The list of victims also included Juan del Olmo, instructor of 11-M, and Baltasar Garzon, Bermúdez rival for the presidency of the Chamber.

Only two of the 18 co-Gómez Bermúdez in the Criminal Division of the president accepted the invitation to attend the book launch, held in a funeral. A few days later, at a meeting of the plenary, the judges of the High Court also disagreed with the work. According to judicial sources, the president of the Court, Carlos Divar, lamented the damage that the work could be done to the image of the court.

In addition, there was the protest of the victims, led by Pilar Manjon, who threatened a lawsuit against Bermudez. CGPJ also came to consider whether the content of the book implied that the trial judge had committed any wrongdoing.

The latest bad news about the book arrived last February. A Madrid court sentenced Beni by interference with the right to honor a lawyer 11-M and ordered to rectify two chapters of the work. Previously, the publication and Beni had cost his dismissal as head of press of the High Court of Justice of Madrid.

TUESDAY BOOK IS PUBLISHED WITH THE FINDINGS OF CHEMICAL ANTONIO IGLESIAS

The report should reopen the case of 11-M


BY GARCIA-Abadilla CASIMIRO

met Antonio Iglesias (Madrid, 1940) in the spring of 2007 when the author of the report in their hands had already completed his work as an expert for the court that tried the terrorist attack of 11-M. From the first moment I was struck by his slow way of speaking, his precision of language and, above all, his prudence when making value judgments. [...] A year after the ruling was issued in autumn 2008, during the course of a luncheon, Iglesias told me he was about to complete a job he had spent almost a year and involved a review of the report that once appeared before the court.

The adventures of former chief the EOD Juan Jesus Sanchez Manzano left many dents in the record of 11-M and the court condemned to the inevitable: order a new expert. Things did not improve. The four official experts were more willing to protect the official version to take with the amazing scientific aseptic data arose. The events raised many suspicions among the four independent experts that one of them, Antonio Iglesias, calmly decided to review all the material come to the expertise and pour it into a new macroinforme. This work is light Tuesday on 'Titadyn' (The Sphere Books), which opens with a lengthy prologue in which the deputy director of THE WORLD, Casimiro Garcia-Abadilla, reconstructs the amazing political journey of scientific criminal investigation linked to explosives. This is an excerpt of these pages.

Nothing is more obstinate than a scientist. Iglesias had reviewed one by one all the tests conducted in the Forensic Science Laboratory during the hundred days of the expertise ordered by the court.

When asked about the reasons which led it to dig back at the hard work he replied without hesitation: "I like to do things with logic, precision and calmness. The number of irregularities that occurred during the execution of the test, as well as the difficulties we had to present our view during the hearing, took me to get down to work. It was a moral obligation to myself, to the chemical profession and, above all, with the victims. " TWO NEW KEY

[...] then go into depth on each aspect of this research, but as an advance of what is in this scientific study, which we call Church Report, which has been endorsed by the College of Chemical Madrid, I will highlight two of the most illuminating findings. The first, which is "highly probable" that at least in the focus issue 3 of the station of El Pozo Titadyn outbreak. In any case in this outbreak erupted Goma 2 ECO. The second, that the samples M-2 (rest of explosive found in the van Renault Kangoo) and M-3 (the standard sample of Goma 2 Eco dynamite used for comparison with the previous) 'from the same cartridge. "

The first of these conclusions (the "highly probable" to a scientist means being on the threshold of absolute certainty) is itself enough transcendental to completely rethink the official account of events. [...]

The second of the conclusions outlined above sheds light on a latent suspicion throughout the process: the police station in the EOD, the command of Juan Jesus Sanchez Manzano, could manipulate the evidence to guide research towards a single explosive and, therefore, to a specific author. [...]

MANZANO gaffe

The issue of explosives would not have aroused no controversy if it were not for the stupidity of their own Sánchez Manzano. Indeed, the superintendent of the EOD, in his appearance Commission of Inquiry to the 11-M, which took place on July 7, 2004, said: "I have said that the remains of the centers of the explosions reach 12.30 unit, begins its analysis and are obtained first results around 1400 hours [March 11]. In some cases (notably in eight of the 10 outbreaks), not all, when doing analysis of the remains of the focus of the explosion we find traces of nitroglycerin, and nitroglycerin is a component of all the dynamite. "

[...] However, two years later, in July 2006, he was just a member of the EOD who I drew attention to a detail that no one had paid attention:

[...] - What was it that exploded on trains? - returned to the fray.

  • Goma 2 Eco, the explosive Trashorras sold them, "I answered with the same certainty that if I had asked if the night comes after day.
  • Ah, that is, Goma 2 ECO. Well look at police reports that are incorporated into the summary to see if you see nitroglycerin as a composite of the Goma 2 ECO. If so I invite you to whatever you want .- And hung up.

With the excitement of someone who is about to discover a fact that could turn around the research I began to review all documentation [...] None of the reports submitted to the judge in the summary 20 / 2004 is referred to as nitroglycerin compound of the Goma 2 ECO. [...]

Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, remained in those days, several discussions with the director of El Mundo, Pedro J. Ramirez, which tried to excuse the chief of the EOD, which he defined as "a good professional that we do not name, but the PP." "It was confusion, "argued the minister. Look, I am but I can say that chemical is easily confused, especially with a compound that is part of the dynamite. Do not turn more laps. " [...]

Sánchez Manzano came to testify before Del Olmo. What did our chief inspector to judge? [...] On the one hand, Apple says that confused with nitroglycerin dynamite and other, claims that appear at the Commission's 11-M did not refer to that attack, but to "any attack."

[...] My source, a highly experienced EOD had achieved its objective. Not only had we on a track that was so shaken by that date was a truism (that terrorists had used Goma 2 ECO), but directed us to the unprecedented circumstances in which there was research on a fundamental element of the gun crime. TOMB

ACEBES

March 11, the then Interior Minister Angel Acebes, convened at the headquarters of the Ministry a meeting of all the top anti-terrorist police [...] It discussed at length on the possible authorship of attack. The heads of the security forces had many doubts. [...]

However, shortly before the end of the meeting, about two in the afternoon, Diaz Pintado received a call from Commissioner of Public Safety, Santiago Table Jaén, in which he informed him that according to the EOD, the type of explosive used by terrorists was "Titadyn with detonating cord." Titadyn say it was like to say that the author was ETA. [...]

This data was also the Angel Acebes was certainly a point to be responsible for ETA in a press conference held about three in the afternoon of March 11.

[...] At five in the afternoon, before starting a new meeting of senior police officers in the office of Diaz de Mera, Santiago Díaz Table Pintado told that the explosive used was dynamite, not Titadyn. The Police Force deputy flew into a rage, because that information was just the opposite of what he had said hours earlier. [...] Most incredible of all, who had given this information to Table Jaén was none other than Sánchez Manzano, the same as that sent to it, according to Diaz Pintado, that the explosive was "Titadyn with detonating cord" just three hours earlier. EMBARGO

INFORMATION

At five in the afternoon, Sanchez Manzano sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory to analyze three samples: the M-1 (powder extinguisher), the M-2 (the rest of explosive found in the Kangoo) and M-3 (a supposed standard sample of Goma 2 ECO). According to Manzano's own version before the judge and court, with the first analysis, which were made in the laboratory of the EOD between noon and two o'clock in the afternoon, had not been able to determine the type of dynamite. [...]

technicians of the Scientific Police have not completed their analysis of the three samples until seven o'clock. In an unprecedented step, the superintendent of the Scientific Police, Carlos Corrales, who was in his hands the results from seven in the evening, did not allow be referred to the Minister until ten at night. That is, for three hours Corrales knew that the explosive was Goma 2 ECO Kangoo (with the addition of methenamine) and did not allow further information regulatory channels.

At quarter past eight p.m. Acebes gave a new press conference in which he reported on the discovery of the Renault Kangoo and which re-emphasized that, according to police, the explosive used by terrorists was "habitually used by ETA." "Corrales someone reported the results of the analysis of explosives between seven and ten? Since then, Acebes seems not.

Anyway, it was not until ten at night time that Corrales authorized the test results of the Scientific Police was transmitted to the Ministry of Interior, when Titadyn definitely ruled out and it was assumed that the explosive used was Goma 2 ECO: The thesis of the authorship of ETA, maintained by the Government, began to deflate.



fudge or hide " test?

Commissioner Sánchez Manzano was the first analysis of 11-M and eventually dismissed

My source in the EOD had placed us on a track of long haul. Suddenly, explosives became the most interesting aspect of the investigative report about the attack. [...]

Sánchez Manzano had sent two reports to Judge Del Olmo explosives. The first, dated March 12, included the analysis of Forensic Science for the M-1, M-2, M-3 and M-4. As you recall, on the morning of March 12 had Vallecas backpack off, the content also considered the experts of the Forensic Science (this sample is the M-4). The components were those of the Goma 2 ECO, but methenamine, of course. And they did state the experts of the Scientific Police in his report. One of the experts who participated in this analysis told me later: "The explosion of the Kangoo, the standard sample and the Vallecas backpack were different. It was obvious. "

For all blocks, in the report submitted to the judge, Sánchez Manzano also introduced the methenamine component in the explosive bag Vallecas. That way led to Judge Del Olmo to commit blunders. However, Sanchez Manzano did not bother him from his error. When all is said and done, must have thought, who was going to get to investigate what were the components of the Goma 2 ECO? PLUNDERED

The misunderstanding was not corrected until April the following year. It was by chance. [The judge Teresa Palacios] Judge Del Olmo sent a letter in which, at the request of the Guardia Civil, he requested to indicate "whether in all samples [...] has located the substance known as methenamine." This question, made by experts from the Civil Guard was a knock to the credibility of the EOD superintendent [...].

The answer he gave judge [...] Sánchez Manzano made us see, once again, the inexhaustible creativity of the head of the EOD. Sánchez Manzano attributed to "a clerical error 'mention of methenamine as a component of explosives recovered in the station of Puente de Vallecas. Regarding the presence of the same substance in the wreckage of the Kangoo waxed paper and the standard sample of Goma 2 ECO, the justification given was the "pollution." NADA

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

To be scandalous manipulation of the reports and the explanations devised by the chief of the EOD, my source insisted over and over again on another issue: "the key is research on the analysis of outbreaks of explosions, "he said [...].

What we found in both reports is that the analysis of the remains of 10 outbreaks of the EOD expert chemist could only determine the existence of "components of dynamite", but these did not mention any of them. [...] I repeat once again: the Titadyn and Goma 2 Eco dynamite. How chief of the EOD guessed that it was Goma 2 ECO? [...] When we released in the world, no, no chemicals or explosives experts and, of course, our sources in the EOD, gave credence to that claim impossible. No one can say that there is a substance without knowing the components thereof. It's that simple. Logic sometimes is more useful than the pseudoscientific verbiage [...].

EOD

My friend, who used the mail, a name that has a lot to research, but for obvious reasons I can not reveal, went further and suggested to me by email: "Is not I have asked why the analysis of the foci were made in the laboratory of the EOD and not of the Forensic Science? ". Sometimes I was angry because I was sure he already knew the answers to your questions. Yes, it was really strange. [...] Les

add that the only officially approved laboratory for analysis of explosives is the Scientific Police, not that of the EOD.

[...] Why Sánchez Manzano was saved the remnants of explosive found in the pockets of the trains?

During his testimony before the court, which occurred on March 14, 2007, [...] again surprised the crowd with a new theory: the laboratory of the EOD examined exclusively the "leftovers pesables no", while the laboratory Scientific Police was responsible for analyzing the "leftovers pesables." [...] When he appeared in court the expert of the Scientific Police Manuel Escribano (which analyzed the samples on 11 March) and asked if there had been analyzing the remains of explosions in his laboratory, said that 83% of which he personally conducted more than 30 years service correspond precisely what remains Sánchez Manzano called pesables not. YES NOW [...]

However, there was still a doubt Was any written report? You really could not determine any component? [...] The expert gave another big surprise for his statement. [...] Some light on that day he lit the mind because, to the amazement of everyone, said: "nitroglycol and ammonium nitrate." Unbelievable. Three years after the attack, the expert admitted that the EOD it in their analysis found those substances that, as you can imagine, are as components of the Goma 2 ECO and the Titadyn. [...]

FALL

do not know how they must have felt Sánchez Manzano, after having secured by active and passive components was impossible to know what was in the explosive [...]. The information published THE WORLD from July 2006 and the resulting pressure of all the police unions, without exception, led the Chief Information Commissioner, Miguel Valverde, to remove him from office in December of that year. That is, a couple of months before the start of the hearing. Interior did not want getting caught with a guy as imaginative as Sanchez Manzano.

Garzon said ETA and 'confuses' Del Olmo

According to a source of all credit, Judge Garzón himself was sure of that argument [that he had been ETA] until late afternoon on day 11. In the morning, as stated before the parliamentary inquiry, when he was at Atocha station, the EOD officer told him that the explosive used was Titadyn. At 16.45 pm the same day, phoned Garzón Juan del Olmo, who had already taken over the investigation. Del Olmo was in those moments when one of the IFEMA pavilions that was used to deposit the bodies. Garzon assured the judge that the author of the killing was ETA. Knowing Garzon's contacts with the police, that statement was almost a guarantee of truth. The same explosive

pages 'Titadyn' list the most relevant analysis expert. The left image gives the chromatogram of standard sample of Titadyn, seized from ETA two weeks before the 11-M. On the right answers to the same analysis of the most important example of the limelight, a powder fire extinguisher found in El Pozo designated as M-1. According to the opinion of independent experts, the overwhelming similarity between the detected items, nitroglycol (EGDN), nitroglycerin (NG), dinotrotolueno (DNT) and phthalates-pointing that erupted Titadyn, not Goma 2 ECO, which lacks two of these elements (nitroglycerin and DNT).

How Many Tables And Chairs Should Be In A Resto?

The 'bystanders' analysis of 11-M







Monday, May 18, 2009. Year XXI. Number: 7091.

OPINION EDITORIAL


The 'bystanders' analysis of 11-M

interview published today with Antonio Iglesias, one of eight experts who participated in the expert on explosives ordered by the court's 11-M, is devastating to the decision of the Audiencia Nacional upheld by the Supreme Court. The data that this chemical puts on the table show that was issued on false pretenses and conditioned by a more than likely handling the investigation.

Iglesias is blunt in saying that in the samples collected at the station of El Pozo "appears a sketch of Titadyn." The ruling assumes, however, which broke out on the basis of Goma 2 ECO dibutyl phthalate present in the analysis. However, contrary to what the text says Gomez Bemúdez, this element serves as a "differentiator." In fact, I was in the Titadyn seized from ETA Cañaveras days before slaughter. During the expert opinion of 11-M was detected their presence, but then camouflaged under the generic name of "phthalates", so that the court will go unnoticed by a factor that could have changed the verdict, at least in regard to Trashorras paper and fabric Asturias. Coincidence or manipulation? It is now that Iglesias has found that the reference to hiding the dibutyl phthalate.

Contrary to the view that what exploded on trains was Goma 2 ECO is the incontrovertible fact that the station of El Pozo appeared DNT, which is not part of that explosive. Iglesias is presented as an unexpected "unwelcome guest." It is very revealing in this respect, the episode tells the angry reaction of the head of the skills of 11-M, Alfonso Vega, against the EOD, when notes the presence of DNT in the analysis. His anger was due, probably because at that moment he realized that the CSU had been deceived by a unit (EOD) that was not for the analysis of explosives.

Interestingly, days later, at the facility where the tests were kept, there was a blackout you disconnected the cameras ensured that no one could manipulate. It was from that moment began to appear traces of DNT in the samples of Goma 2 ECO, which fueled the theory of contamination, although none of the above analysis had been detected. Again, what coincidence or manipulation?

La Vega puzzling reaction to the appearance of DNT is similar to that stated when it was revealed the presence of another "stone guest", the nitroglycerin-in fire extinguisher powder remains. And that nitroglycerin is not part of the Goma 2 ECO.

tests Churches reach another eloquent conclusion. Thanks to a study of particle size, warns that it is "statistically impossible" that the standard sample of dynamite that the chief of the EOD offered to CSU came from a cartridge other than that they belonged to the remains of explosive agents have said Kangoo van found in supposedly used by the Islamists. That points to the manufacture of false evidence. Moreover, in all samples analysis of the two Churches has what appears as a third "uncomfortable stone guest": methenamine, a compound that is not part of the Goma 2 ECO and, therefore, should not be in any of both.

Iglesias, who in their explanations demonstrate that scientific rigor is not at odds with educational exhibits, and presents an essential document of the first magnitude, which confirms the suspicions of manipulation not only during the pre-11-M, but also for the expertise ordered by the court. These "bystanders" as in the Tenorio, seem to want to return the past to remind the living that justice remains an unfinished business. Their report will be published shortly by The Orb Books for any citizen can consult.

11-M / research / ANTONIO IGLESIAS / chemist, expert in the trial of 11-M

"appeared a sketch of Titadyn"

The chemical expert has reviewed all of the analysis that the explosives were made of 11-M and found new data Countering the claim made by the ruling and suggest that it was Goma 2 ECO, but another explosive used in the slaughter

MANUEL Marraco
Madrid

Antonio Iglesias stopped working "against the" two years ago when, in San Isidro, 2007, concluded the expert on explosives court ordered the 11-M. From that moment, and calmly began another charge that he alone had been driven by "compressed dissatisfaction" that had left the haste with which the eight experts convened by the High Court had to work.

Churches began to revise and rethink all the analysis points in the four independent experts had not reached an agreement with both the police and the two Civil Guard. These differences were what Iglesias described as "differences without network", because they do not do routine seeking chemistry, and quality of water, but the cause of death of 192 people. The result has been a macroinforme visa at the College of Chemical Madrid that questions the main conclusion of the sentence and would soon see the light in the Sphere of Books.

Question .- The way to determine it has been very convoluted, but the question I answered was simple: what exploded on trains?

Response .- The focus could be analyzed best in the station of El Pozo, it is highly likely that Titadyn. All display components, see the sketch of Titadyn, that's what made the analytical.

P. - The truth is that the judges left the door open to using another explosive, but focus the story and convictions in the Goma 2 ECO stolen in Asturias. His report sheds much criticism of the resolution that affects the explosives.

R. - The sentence, with all due respect, it has many gaps, although I understand the difficulty of the judges to move through the field of analytical chemistry. Says with a devastating emphatically that in all outbreaks, such as dibutyl phthalate was detected, oblivious to Titadyn broke Goma 2 ECO. However, also ignores the presence in all foci of dinitrotoluene (DNT), which is not part of that explosive. That is to say there, sir. It does not say anything to the EOD wash samples and not to keep the material, although any student lab knows you have to do it.

P. - In addition to what you can criticize the decision, you bring new and relevant data that the court could not take into account when drafting. For example, in the Titadyn Cañaveras seized from ETA in itself was dibutyl phthalate, although his theoretical absence led the court to err on the Goma 2 ECO, yes it did.

R. - The analysis made in this Titadyn had seen him 20 times and I had not noticed, but one day I look and think: 'That which has so marked here as generic as phthalates correspond to what in the database life have been calling dibutyl phthalate. " It was an important finding. The fact that we knew it is because the expert civil guard who did the analysis was content to put the generic "phthalates.


The head of the expertise, Alfonso Vega police had already recognized that dibutyl phthalate is not a differentiator with a margin of confidence to attribute to the Goma 2 ECO because it is present in many plastics and elements of the trains. One day, discussing, Alfonso I said, 'Look, I never say that a compound is Goma 2 ECO dibutyl phthalate only. " That is recorded in video cameras and audio to Gomez Bermudez had ordered to put the transparency of expertise. The finish comes when not only is not specific, but the sample appears Titadyn dibutyl phthalate.

P. - Among the multitude of analysis of the review there are others whose expertise led him to say that the rest of explosive found in the van of the terrorists and the standard sample of Goma 2 ECO delivered by the chief of the EOD , Juan Jesus Sanchez Manzano, came from the same cartridge.

R. - is one of those things that no attention until you stop playing against the clock and say, 'I'll review all of the charts there. " I noticed looking at photos of the expert. Dynamite contains starch and the starch has a grain that can be dyed. I saw the huge similarities between the sample who say they came under the passenger seat of the Kangoo and the so-called standard sample. I thought that statistically it is impossible or extremely unlikely that two different cartridges have the same grain. This analytical technique is common in the Scientific Police precisely to discriminate types of explosives based on their size distribution.

Q. - there had to be deduced that the same source?

R. - is an important indication, but that's another one: that of all the analysis that has been made of the two samples has left an unwelcome guest of stone, which is the methenamine, a compound that is not part of the Goma 2 ECO. So we are faced with two samples having the same particle size and the same compound should not be in either. This combination of evidence permits the inference on the common origin of the two samples.

Q. - In your report states that findings like these pointed to the falseness of the evidence of the Kangoo and questioned the validity of summary.

R. - Is it a coincidence the less startling, but not for me to witness that there was an irregularity. I know that you took the samples to the Scientific Police, but there is enough material to suggest that the two samples are part of the cartridge or have been together in the same place at the same time.

P. - These two findings has made you in the quiet of his office. There were others, however, that occurred during the expert together with experts and officials led to a great start. The first was another unwelcome guest, the dinitrotoluene (DNT) was Titadyn component and not the Goma 2 ECO in which the prosecution insisted.

R. - The first surprise comes when we analyzed a sample of outbreaks of explosion. We Andrés de la Rosa, of the Scientific Police, and myself. We were a bit surprised. We tried several times and said that DNT. We called the director of expertise and we told him. 'Ah, come on, you're crazy, how you will be DNT! ", He said. Why did he say this, why surprised? Because there was a dogma that had exploded on trains Goma 2 ECO and lame now, as someone said. And of course, the Goma 2 ECO no DNT. A lot yuyu Alfonso gave to admit, they had no noses to do it, says: 'Now I'm going to shit on the mother who gave birth to the EOD. " I remember it well, said it appeared the day DNT and said in front of the cameras.

P. - Outside of relief with the EOD, what was your reaction scientific?

R. - That created a huge stir in the laboratory. Alfonso Vega told his superior, Miguel Angel Santana. The next morning brought us together and says, 'Do not think it was DNT foci of blast impurity is probably the fabric of Goma 2 ECO. " But the factory said it had stopped using DNT in 1999, we sent samples of the substance were negative.

few days later, the clerk tells us to take note that the previous night had been a blackout in the facilities and the camera had stopped recording. One is good and thinks that these things happen. It's bad when you start to connect the dots of strange things. It is rare that there was no prompt to restart the power at the police headquarters, but is starting to appear in samples traces of DNT Goma 2 ECO. And they are now, what a coincidence, after not discovered in 2004, after appearing in the spotlight and after a blackout ...

Q. - There was a second appearance. In the best conserved, a fire extinguisher powder rest, nitroglycerin detected, which again is part of Titadyn and not the Goma 2 ECO. What happened here?

R. - For horror, horror. Great confusion, especially among the official experts. The first reflex of Alfonso Vega is: 'I have mistaken, it is not possible, we will be tested. " Is repeated in two pieces and comes out ... Alfonso was reluctant to admit it was nitroglycerin, experts from the Guardia Civil is accepted. In the end, Alfonso had to admit it.

P. - but had not specifically requested, the court received immediate notice of that finding.

R. - I communicate with independent experts. So we stay calm, because the judge could no longer escape it. Views surprises, blackouts, who would tell us that at Easter, without recording the cameras ... you could expect anything. Was rife and a climate of suspicion that created Alfonso Vega, he will know under whose orders.

P. - After several months into a expert so dense and so many surprises, what led him to move forward?

R. - A compressed dissatisfaction. We know that explosives are much more effective the pills are, and I was very compressed with it. I started writing a few days. I submitted all the criticism, I reviewed the characteristics of explosives and the experiments we did. In late 2008, I submitted the endorsement of the Association of Chemists, which entails the recognition and institutional support for professional the author. In addition, it underwent the trial of three other independent experts who participated in the skills of the court. I remember there were amazed and expressed their agreement and willingness to support the letter. What counts is new, the analysis of which appears Titadyn dibutyl phthalate and the photomicrographs with the starch granules. That is the extent of any chemical that is open to the opinion and have seen it.

Q. - Is there something relevant to investigate?

A. - This is already legal treatment ...

P. - From the point of view scientist.

R. - Let's be practical. Reanalyze the samples are subjected to the uncertainty of a chain of custody that has left much to be desired when the EOD washed the samples when the light goes off mysteriously, when they appear without knowing how traces of DNT and nitroglycerin in samples that had been analyzed ... I do not know what may appear on what was there. Analytically not think it has great value, because, after five years, the state of the samples will have deteriorated and increasingly have more limitations in terms of quality.

Q. - And you still reviewing some point?

R. - Yes, but we will not forward events.

TENSIONS AMONG EXPERTS

"The Civil Guard is not swallowed with environmental pollution"

Question .- The final phase of the expert showed that there was not even agreement among the experts from the Guardia Civil and the Police.

Answer .- A few days before the deadline of submission of the report to the court, we met with many discrepancies. We had not reached agreement. To facilitate the drafting of the report, the civil guard Carlos Atoche says Gabriel Moris [expert by the AVT] and me, 'What do you think if agreed an opinion?'. To me, agree it sounds a bit dodgy. In science is not consensual, marked evidence. 'What do you mean by consensus? "I asked. 'Man, we do agree that the DNT is an explosive [that required another explosive addition to the Goma 2 ECO] and we do not agree with what he's talking Alfonso [Vega] pollution. " I told him we could not reach an agreement because it believed in its explanation on methenamine.

That same day, when we returned to the Forensic Science Laboratory, we heard an altered environment in the next room, that of Miguel Angel Santana. Voices were heard, say, the divergence. Then come Vega Atoche and fighting among themselves. Already had scored between two schools official experts, the proponents of environmental pollution and the Civil Guard, who do not swallow it.

P. - The largest initial match of the Guardia Civil with the independent experts did not last until the trial.

R. - At the end, the view, we missed a lot of radical change in attitude of the Guardia Civil. Saw no possibility of dialogue with those who, apart from their professional expertise, have a number of obligations of the chain of command that ultimately have weighed decisively in their arguments. That was over as the string of dawn.

P. - The main reason was that, as theory would not admit the contamination with the police wanted to explain the emergence of what was not part of the Goma 2 ECO, did not accept how the Civil Guard methenamine explained that appear where there should be none.

R. - maintained that was generated in the gas chromatograph under certain circumstances. In fact, if we accept the theory for the purposes of argument, which is generated in the sample of the Kangoo and the standard sample, and not in some other samples, is another indication that they have a common origin. With more humor, Gabriel Moris Atoche ironically told: 'Carlos, I congratulate you, because you discovered a method of manufacture of methenamine!'.

Chemical BATTLE CARLOS ROMERO, expert in the 11-M

"The police chief of the expertise we wanted to tease"

This expert supports the findings of chemical mate of expertise in the 11-M Antonio Iglesias. Suggests that broke Titadyn and denounces the efforts of the experts suspect official version of the fiscal underpin

MANUEL Marraco
Madrid


"fully endorse what he says Antonio Churches and I've already notified the Association of Chemists. " Carlos Romero battles was the explosives expert of 11-M, and today, as then, agrees with his colleague Titadyn Churches in stating the prime suspect. Before presenting the macroinforme with the review of all analysis, Iglesias showed her work to the other three independent experts for three months and a half locked in a lab with two members of the Scientific Police and two police officers to corroborate or refute the official version.


Question .- What is your impression of the report of its partner expertise?

Answer .- He informed us he has done and the conclusions reached and fully endorse it. I talked to the dean of the College of Chemical supporting my partner. The report is there, you can analyze and anyone can read and draw their conclusions.

P. - Despite what the four independent experts said in the final report, the court was inclined to the official version that had broken Goma 2 ECO and not Titadyn.

R. - We could not conclude categorically that it was because we had no material Titadyn enough. We were surprised to reach a skill of three pairs of whiskers with samples which were laughable. Only had a sample of the spotlight good, not washed by the EOD. If I had found two other similar samples, if the washing water samples have not disappeared and if the trains had not been cast, we found more. But there was only that sample without washing. The wash is a standard technique, but we must keep the water because it is proof of the crime. If the strips, they come back they find nothing, that is what happened to us.

P. - The emergence of foreign elements the Goma 2 ECO and present at the Titadyn caused tensions between the official experts and you, especially with the head of the expertise, Alfonso Vega, of the Scientific Police.

A. - I told Alfonso that he disapproved chemically. We teased. Some things are obvious, we wanted to tease unabashedly. It is all recorded. We must now check all that have not camouflaged. In the recordings are all technical discussion of expertise, how they have tried to tease and we have not stopped, how people burst into the expertise that had nothing to do with it. Is all we have suffered for three long months.

Q. - During the trial, you emphasized the similarity between the analysis of the findings in this sample is not washed and the analysis of Titadyn intact.

R. - remember that the court expert provides the chromatogram of the sample, which was nailed to Titadyn. [The judge] Gómez Bermúdez told me to shut up six or seven times, but I wanted to make that clear. The chromatogram is nailed, is nailed. Everything, all the peaks had appeared Titadyn, everyone. At first discard that sample powder extinguisher because logically, it was within the extinguisher when the explosion occurs, and thereafter as an artificer or whoever applies it to focus. But I called the technical director of a manufacturer of fire extinguishers, also a chemist, and he said that this product has great absorption and adsorption capacity. He said, 'This is like a blotter, is a replica of what is there. "

P. - Your partner Iglesias said he felt an immediate need to review the material obstacles and haste with which they had to work.

R. - I also felt like going to review many things. I was very wrong body and every day I remember the victims.

Trial two prisoners to talk to police WORLD


Madrid Joaquin MANSO

"And, meanwhile, two police officers are honest and 24 days in jail for the only crime to speak with a reporter from the world. " This quoting figured in all the editorials in this newspaper for several weeks in December 2006. The 24 °, which coincided with Christmas Eve, was the last that agents Grill and Celestino Antonio Rivera spent in jail on charges by Judge Juan del Olmo of telling a story to an editor of this newspaper. An anonymous contributed 70,000 euros that night missing to complete the extremely high bail of 300,000 euros imposed on them by the magistrate, and allowed the two policemen pasasen Christmas with their families.

begins today in the Court of Madrid the trial of the two protagonists of that episode. The only sure thing is that in no case will return to jail on the same tests that Del Olmo kept in custody for 24 days, the prosecutor who took over the case when he became the ordinary courts asked only a fine of 4,200 euros. The two deny having provided information to the journalist Fernando Lázaro, which may offer at the hearing his version, which had not occurred throughout the investigation of the case.

Del Olmo was on duty in the National Court on August 15, 2006, when a police informer was involved in Leganés five sticks of dynamite. Judge initiated an investigation on suspicion of trafficking in explosives that could have a terrorist purpose, the only case in which would be competent. Bond

exorbitant

The investigation uncovered a plot police dealing drugs and explosives. In December, the judge's arrest coincided with the corrupt group of two policemen (Rivera and Grill) whom he accused of leaking the news, as if between them there is any connection.

Del Olmo continued to extend his appearance when, in the same car, ordered the prison for the two accused officials only by revealing secrets and three members of the mafia plot. And yet, when set to Parrilla Rivera and exorbitant bail of 150,000 euros each.

Two weeks later, Del Olmo assumed that it had no jurisdiction and referred the case to an ordinary court. The judge took allowed to release the securities, who met through a charity collection organized by the English Confederation of Police.

Madrid

The Madrid Provincial Court yesterday held the first session of the trial against the two officers to the judge Juan del Olmo jailed for 24 days under the sole charge of reporting on an investigation into journalist Fernando Lázaro WORLD. The prosecutor asked now, with the same tests, 4,200 euro fine. When the agent Antonio Parrilla defended his colleagues saying that internal affairs "lied" to implicate him in this case, the presiding judge, Miguel Hidalgo, responded by introducing a new element: "Do you think it could be due to disagree with the official version of 11-M? ".

Neither the prosecutor nor the defense, not even any of the two defendants had done so far not a single mention of the participation of some of the Grill highlights of the investigation of 11-M.

The agent had said he met the journalist of this newspaper "after being in jail" and that the internal affairs brigade manipulated a report to put you in a meeting with him in a cafeteria. "I want to get on the subject ...», reflected. The judge interrupted: "What reason to believe they may have to want to implicate?".

- "I do not know why Just ask them," replied the agent.

- "Let's see ... You participated in the investigation of 11-M. Belonged to the UCIE. He was in the detention of Trashorras, the operation of Lavapiés ...», introduced Judge Hidalgo.

- "Yes, yes ... I was confident driver ...». Cartagena

The conversation continued until the judge directly asked the defendant if his fears had to do with their differences on the investigation of 11-M. Grill agent did not answer, just finished adding that breaking the Exterior Information Central Unit (UCIE) of the Police after Operation Nova. "Look, this is a fake," he said. Judge Hidalgo insisted if he was a witness of the "line conspiracy" in the trial of 11-M ... and dialogue was diluted.

Judge Miguel Hidalgo, a former policeman and president of Section 16 meetings of the Court of Madrid, participated very actively throughout the session and participated in all interviews. Showed a very precise knowledge of the details of the investigation, and questions not only manifested their interest in the main subject of the case-the alleged disclosure of WORLD-secret, but also in other adjacent, as a Russian woman a month in jail for drug trafficking even though the wiretaps had shown that he was the victim of an assembly organized by corrupt police also fiddle with Goma 2. Indeed, agents are accused of having leaked to this newspaper mafia data on this plot.

The session began with the reproduction of the CD where they can hear the conversations of journalist Fernando Lázaro with the defendant Celestino Rivera. Then this policeman was questioned to give his version of events: in essence, is that it was the editor of this newspaper who gave him a draft containing detailed information about a mafia plot within the Police, and not vice versa. The agent, by his own account, would have given data transfer to the Provincial Information Brigade to avail.

cops that group, who were the next to testify, confirmed that it was, and that while Rivera showed some interest in knowing how the investigation progressed, they provide no reference. Finally, appeared in an internal affairs agent, who did not say how he identified as a person Grill met with Fernando Lazaro in a cafe in Madrid.

11-M: when science disproves the statement
We are aware that disclosure of the conclusions of the scientific report by the expert Antonio Iglesias serve to heighten awareness of the most sensitive sector critical of English society on the importance of finding out the truth about the 11-M. But also that some will react by appealing to the conspiracy theory and criticizing the stubbornness of those who we strive to further investigate the slaughter of Madrid.
Responding to skeptics is very simple: the world is limited to advance the main conclusion of a scientific work of 500 pages. Nothing in the policy reviews, speculation or concerns regarding the terrorism. Empirical evidence, scientifically derived and scientifically verifiable. The author is a chemical that focuses on the review of tests on the 11-M explosives in the laboratories of the Scientific Police, with the participation of eight experts, including himself.

Churches work for a year has followed the procedures established by the scientific community and is delivered the College of Chemistry for other experts to submit to criticism, controversy or refutation their content.

We are also aware of the difficulty of understanding for the reader of this issue, which is easy to get lost in the complexity and diversity of processes and chemicals that appear, sometimes with similar names.

There are, however, two very important assumptions in this scientific report to conclude that the explosive used by terrorists to blow up trains was Titadyn, which contradicts the official version that what exploded was only Goma 2 ECO. The

first of these assumptions is that the analysis of sample M-1, the best preserved and the only one that was not washed with water, showed the presence of nitroglycerin and dinitrotoluene, two substances that are part of Titadyn but not in the Goma 2 ECO stolen in Asturias.

The second premise is even more relevant as a novelty leaving death touched the credibility of the decision: the court erroneously concluded that the presence of dibutyl phthalate in any analysis of samples it was possible to ascertain Goma 2 ECO. The deduction is wrong because this substance is also part of Titadyn seized by the Guardia Civil Cañaveras, two weeks before the slaughter in Madrid. The verdict says that dibutyl phthalate was a "differential component" of each other explosive and this is not true, as has been demonstrated in the analysis of Churches.

As explained in our paper today, the figure was not known during the trial because the graph reflecting the results of analysis of Titadyn generically referred to phthalates, specifically omitting the occurrence of dibutyl phthalate. According to Iglesias, the omission went "unnoticed" or, perhaps, "was circumvented" by the director of expertise. Anyway, what says the statement is false.

The findings of this report are certainly evidence of the judicial inquiry into the 11-M and the court's work. For this reason, some people are welcomed with disdain or silence, without bothering to refute scientifically and arguing that the ruling of the trial and ruled on the explosives.

But facts are stubborn and we are releasing today further accentuates doubts about the official version of 11-M. No one better than Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, who is a chemist by profession, would assess the report of Churches from the scientific point of view and, according to their own conclusions, order a new investigation on a matter so fundamental to clarify the slaughter.

11-M RESEARCH / The 'report Iglesias' (I)
chemical A report concludes that the 11-M exploded Titadyn
The Antonio Iglesias expert reveals that the main technical argument of the statement is false because the DBP attributed exclusively to the Goma 2 ECO also appeared in the Titadyn of Cañaveras. Insists that, however, both nitroglycerin and DNT detected in the only other lights that could be analyzed, are components of Titadyn and in any case of the Goma 2 ECO. One year has reviewed all analytical explosives and has a 500-page report that has been deposited at the College of Chemicals to submit a dispute between his colleagues
Marraco
MANUEL Madrid

One expert chemicals analyzed for the court's 11-M's remains explosions has prepared a comprehensive report ruled out that terrorists use the stolen dynamite for the plot of Asturias and says that in at least one of the bulbs broke some kind of Titadyn.

The expert's macroinforme Antonio Iglesias considered "highly probable" that the backpack bomb one of the focuses of the station of El Pozo, the number three, containing Titadyn. To reach this and other relevant findings, go over nearly 500 pages all the expert analysis conducted in the laboratory of the Scientific Police, in a report already registered in the Official College of Chemists of Madrid.

Churches participated in the expert at the request of the Association of Victims Support 11-M. Beside him, three experts appointed by the allegations and defenses accompanied two police officers and two police officers. In total, eight experts for a report that should alleviate the serious consequences of poor performance of the former head of Juan Jesus Sanchez Manzano EOD.

material in this review, the expert has come across a fact that disrupts an argument with which the court reached the conviction that all bulbs had exploded the Goma 2 ECO stolen by Emilio Suarez Trashorras to the Islamist cell .

The ruling of the High Court noted that "in all" the outbreaks analyzed by experts detected dibutyl phthalate (also known as dibutyl phthalate, DBP). According to the data managed by experts and then the court, the substance was part of the Goma 2 ECO, but not of Tita-dyn. Hence, the Board gave as proven the presence of Goma 2 ECO in all the lights and just leave the door ajar to further may be mixed with another explosive.

However, the Church report shows that the same element is also part of Titadyn that allegedly discarded. In fact, it was present in the explosive seized from ETA that mark just two weeks before the slaughter in the truck intercepted Cañaveras.

court orders among the eight experts was to analyze a sample of Titadyn, suspecting it could be one of the explosives used in trains. And did contain DBP.

"Surprisingly, we had not noticed this fact during the skill. I've noticed this expert report reviewing chromatograms, "says the expert on the section of the report devoted to the comparison of dynamite.

The data is not known during the trial because, in the graph reflecting the results, which should correspond to dibutyl appeared "generically labeled" as phthalate. Something that, according to the expert, or went "unnoticed" or "was ignored" by the director of expertise.

The alleged absence of DBP in the Titadyn served the defenders of the official version to counter the emergence of two substances, nitroglycerin and dinitrotoluene (DNT) - which were not part of the Goma 2 ECO stolen in Asturias. Police tried to explain this inconsistency with subsequent arguments, from factory pollution to contamination during storage of samples.

In parallel to what happened to the DBP, the statement highlighted the emergence of a second component (nitroglycol), which also belonged exclusively to the Goma 2 ECO. However, the table of components reflected in the macroinforme indicates that it is part of all types of Titadyn.

The presence of both elements (nitroglycol and DBP) led to the Chamber to conclude, "following a logical"-words of the sentence, "that the Goma 2 ECO was present in all foci.

Iglesias, taking into account the presence of DBP in the Titadyn, confirms what we already noted in incorporated the comments submitted to the court expert's report: the presence of such dynamite in at least one outbreak of 11-M.

The sample analyzed was 3.5 grams of powder collected red extinguisher with one of the wagons. The experts agreed that this sample, designated as M-1, had a "special analytical interest" since it offered the best performance features to deliver security. Not only acted as an absorbent of chemicals exploded, but was the only sample that had not washed EOD early analysis. The report notes

that "the joint presence" of four components in the sample M-1 "can discriminate the type of dynamite used in the focus of which was removed." Two of these elements are common to both Goma 2 ECO and the Titadyn (ditritoetilénglicol ammonium nitrate). Two others, however, "not part of the Goma 2 ECO and yes the Titadyn" (the Dinitrotoluene and nitroglycerin). "Given these facts, [...] we highly likely that the focus No. 3 of El Pozo Titadyn has exploded," he concludes.

Later, the expert rejects the interpretation of the police chief of the expertise that the amount of nitroglycerin was so low that it could not be considered as part of the explosive burst, but the result of contamination during storage. "It is logical to conclude that nitroglycerin and confirmed unequivocally detected [...] comes from an explosive that contained not a trace level, but at a much higher, which corresponds to the specifications of dynamite carrying nitroglycerin in his composition "rebate.

Apart from exhaustive analysis of the key shows, Iglesias also reviews all tests on samples from 13 other bulbs that came into his hands. In his view, "the main feature "is the appearance in all cases of DNT, oblivious to the composition of the Goma 2 ECO. "The conclusion that emerges is that it has broken an explosive other than the Goma 2 ECO, as it has no DNT in its composition. Instead, it takes the Titadyn. " This is compounded by the aforementioned appearance of nitroglycerin in the sample number 1, which also leads to the conclusion "highly probable" that the outbreak was Titadyn.

What leads to Titadyn
  • Two substances that are part of Titadyn (nitroglycerin and dinitrotoluene), but not in the Goma 2 ECO stolen in Asturias, appeared to discuss the best conserved, called M-1.

  • The court concluded that it had used Goma 2 ECO because everywhere there appeared an item (dibutyl phthalate), which was part of that explosive, but not Titadyn. Reviewed all the analytical, the expert also found that Titadyn containing the element.

  • According to Iglesias, "the main feature" of the analysis is the appearance of DNT, which is not part of the Goma 2 ECO, but the Titadyn.

11-M RESEARCH / The 'report Iglesias' (II)
Gum 2 of the Kangoo left cartridge the EOD
Iglesias The report concludes that the explosive that changed the investigation of 11-M and the standard sample submitted by Manzano have the same origin. The chemical came to this result to prove the similarity in the granulation of the samples tested for starch. Disassemble the official explanations to justify that in both samples appear methenamine, a compound outside the Goma 2
MANUEL Marraco
Madrid
The explosive found in the van abandoned by the terrorists of 11-M and the standard sample of Goma 2 ECO delivered by EOD to make a comparison came from the same cartridge, or at least, had been stored together before the bombing. That is one of the conclusions reached by the expert chemist Antonio Iglesias, who participated in the expert's court-ordered 11-M and has developed a macroinforme after reviewing all the analysis of explosives.

chemical expert reached this conclusion based on two essential facts. The first is the appearance in both samples of explosives of the same substance called methenamine, outside the original composition of the Goma 2 ECO but present in some military-type explosives. The second, the similarity of the starch granules displayed after submitting the samples to a particular analytical technique (optical microscopy and staining). The footprint they leave is so similar that it can only be explained by the common origin of both explosives.

The consequence of all this, according to the report Iglesias, is "that the rest of explosive found in the Kangoo, according to the official version and the standard sample came from the same [...] or cartridge, or at least had been stored together on premises, "and that this place had methenamine storage.

Either hypothesis is annulled by the expert's credibility finding that overturned the investigation as it traces the origin of the explosive of the Kangoo in the storage unit was then directed by the commissioner Juan Jesus Manzano. In the first hours after the attack, the fact that the explosive was Goma 2 undermines the credibility of the author's thesis research ETA and entrainment to the Islamic land. This exposes

Churches in his report: "It is easy to admit any these two possibilities compromised the authenticity of the record and / or action by the EOD. [...] The fact that samples M-2 [rest of the Kangoo] and M-3 [show employer] could have been together or come from the same cartridge would point clearly to the falsity of the test cartridge rest appeared as the official version of the Kangoo van. "

On March 11, 2004, the Scientific Police investigated two samples of explosive. One corresponded to that found in the Renault Kangoo abandoned by the terrorist cell near the station of Alcala de Henares. Were 3.221 grams of a white substance attached the end of a cartridge, identified as M-2 sample. The other was just over 100 grams of a standard sample of Goma 2 ECO contributed directly by the EOD in order to compare with the first and identified as sample M-3.

The analysis gave a result identical in both samples. Identical even in what should not be. Came the elements of the Goma 2 ECO (nitrocellulose, nitroglycol, ammonium nitrate, dibutyl phthalate, calcium carbonate), but also, and in two samples of supposedly different origin, a foreign component, methenamine.

According to the report, the danger methenamine posed to the official version led to the Civil Guard to strive to "justify" their appearance. First, it was thought "reasonably" could have been a contamination in the factory. However, English Explosives Union reported that it used the methenamine and provided the Army, samples of all materials that they check it.

ruled that out, the security forces under the Goma 2 to multiple testing until it concluded that the combination of several components that make up the explosive, using methanol as a means reaction, results in the gas chromatograph to methenamine. " Ie methenamine not part of the samples, but was generated by analysis. Churches

maintains that despite the "clear commitment" to put in it, nor the officer who led the expert ordered by the High Court or the Civil Guard officers who were present were able to demonstrate that it were so. Besides showcasing numerous technical objections to the explanation, remember that "there has, to date, the existence of any scientific publication that endorses" the theory maintained during the trial OTP.

He adds that even the official version, properly interpreted, would reinforce the common origin of two samples of explosive. "If we admit only for purposes of argument, that methenamine is formed from ammonium nitrate, the fact that no other form provided precisely such samples 2 and 3 suggest that these two samples are in the same composition type of ammonium nitrate, which would be a plus-sign-one that would come from the same cartridge. "

Although the security forces played down the appearance of methenamine the truth is that among its uses is to serve as raw material for the manufacture of military-type explosive RDX (exogenous, RDX, T4). Therefore, churches considered more plausible theory to explain the appearance of methenamine that the two samples had been "in contact with the explosive RDX likely which, as we have seen, is the precursor or raw materials for manufacturing. Whether the explosive was used or not in the train blast. " The same footprint

The left image corresponds to the explosive found in the Kangoo van after undergoing analytical technique to stain the starch granules containing and look under the microscope. The central image is part of the standard sample of Goma 2 ECO. "The starch grains have a very similar" to those of previous shows, says Iglesias, who explains the common origin of both samples. In contrast, the report includes (right) the result of practicing the same technique to another explosive 11-M. "Note the difference in size of starch granules stained" notes the expert.

11-M RESEARCH / The 'report Iglesias' (I)
inconsistencies and confusion in the ruling
The report reveals that the failure court relied on two factual errors

MANUEL Marraco
Madrid

ignores data, assuming other inconsistent, creating confusion by introducing unnecessary elements and, however, is silent on other important. On the rare six-page report devoted to Case 11-M, the chemical expert brings many reasons to complain. And that although it appreciates the "explicit recognition" that the judges made the results obtained by the experts. Among other things, for "not preclude the use of explosives other than the Goma 2 ECO, as Titadyn." "No contradiction, therefore, the essence of our argument," he added.

Iglesias says his "total disagreement" with the court has taken a "inconsistent data", in reference to the analysis quantitatively the most important example, designated as M-1. This analysis is trying to calculate the proportions in which each element is compared to qualitative analysis only indicates which elements appear.

The expert points out that the eight experts had agreed that quantitative analysis would not be reliable because, by the scarcity of samples and because some components disappear after the explosion. However, the head of the expertise that imposed quantitative analysis to try to argue that the items did not fit the official version appeared in tiny proportions.

This analysis quantitative, with the court did not know that part of Titadyn DBP, is that the verdict was based on two clerical errors.

statement also alleges that "circumvention" to examine the results as relevant as a fact that all samples of the outbreaks had been washed with water and acetone by the EOD, which dismissed as to the samples.

Churches also criticizes the court to emphasize the presence of DBP in all foci of attack and that, however, silent on the appearance, also in all outbreaks, the DNT. While the former served to bolster the official version the second cast many doubts, since it is a component of the Goma 2 ECO.

Elsewhere in the report refers to the confusion generated by the court to find that, with the Goma 2 ECO, this could be another dynamite called "EC". This did have explosive nitroglycerine, which allowed the court to justify its appearance in the analysis. "The award cited the Goma 2 EC here is misplaced and misleading because it had been discontinued in 1999" refutes the expert. Churches

matches the text of the statement that in samples no traces of military explosives. But for two added, that some elements evaporate at the time of the explosion, so its use should be deducted from the state of the trains, which were scrapped immediately, and that the appearance of a substance called methenamine aims to use one of those explosives, Semtex.

respect to this substance, methenamine, regrets that the judges did not reach even to mention it, despite its appearance in several samples relevant because one of the express orders to the experts was to offer explanations for this appearance.

Commissioner Juan Jesus Sanchez Manzano starred in both the start and the end of the investigation into the explosive 11-M. In the midst of all this was dismissed by the continued complaints of the EOD under his command, who criticized discredit of the unit.

was his laboratory, and not the most prepared of the Scientific Police, who analyzed samples of the explosive that blew up. This decision to retain samples and extracts to get rid of that resulted from the first analysis, making it difficult for further examination, carried Churches described as "inadmissible" their actions, that "departs from good analytical practice." Three years later, the lack of work forced the court Manzano 11-M to decide on a new examination of the explosives.

In the very long list of irregularities, the report includes not provide the court remains of all the sources of explosions and hide for years the concrete elements detected, until the trial only spoke of "generic components of dynamite '-. But all this seems to be lower at the churches claim that the rest of Goma 2 found in the van of the terrorists had their origin in the warehouse of explosives under his responsibility.

PRINTS / The scientific findings 'report Iglesias' New
reason to send some policemen "little de Jerez"

as you delve deeper into the report's findings Iglesias, the greater the doubts about the official version of 11-M and more serious signs that reveal fundamental aspects of the investigation. Yesterday we stress that, after extensive review of the analytics of explosives, the expert Antonio Iglesias has discovered that a chemical that the Board considered unique to Goma 2 ECO is also in the Titadyn. This finding refutes the main technical argument of the sentence, under which the dynamite exploded on trains could only be Goma 2 ECO from Mina Conchita. Furthermore, in the same study, the chemical standard sample test police and the remains of Goma 2 ECO found in the Renault Kangoo used by terrorists had the same origin. That is, or both came from the same cartridge explosives, or had been together in the store of the EOD. Churches came to this result after checking the similarity of both starch granulation remains. The study also challenges the official theory, which he attributed to a strange chemical reaction the appearance of methenamine-component outside the Goma 2 ECO in both samples of dynamite. Science provides a basis which makes it difficult accusatory understandable that certain police officers were not sent "little of Jerez," as Gómez Bermúdez. But, of course, no one will talk about this today in the debate.
