Updated: 8:08 a.m. ET April 02, 2004MADRID, Spain - Police found a bomb on a high-speed rail line between Madrid and Seville, Spain's interior minister said Friday.

High-speed train services were halted earlier after a railway employee spotted a suspicious bag on the line near Toledo.

Bomb-disposal experts found 22-24 pounds of explosives, possibly dynamite, under a track about 40 miles south of Madrid.

The explosives were connected to a detonator with a 430-foot cable, Interior Minister Angel Acebes told a news conference.

He said it was not immediately known who placed the bomb.

The incident disrupted travel as millions of Spaniards prepared to leave cities for the Easter week holidays. Seville draws huge crowds for its Easter processions.

The incident follows the Madrid train bombings of March 11, in which 191 people were killed. Spanish officials initially suspected members of the Basque separatist group ETA, but suspicion is now focused on Muslim extremists.

On Thursday, police in northern Spain on Thursday defused three letter bombs addressed to journalists in Madrid.

Acebes said the origin of the letter bombs has not been determined, although the mechanism of the bombs is “similar to those that have been used by anarchist groups on previous occasions.”

the sooner we destroy these bastards, the better

Awful news!

Why Spain again?? Why set a bomb in the first place?

:cry: Yes... Thankfully they got it on time. Apparently a piece was missing. They think it wasn't complete because they thought they were about to get caught while preparing it.

It's awful... They seem to be everywhere :cry:

There isn't any place left in this world where you can feel totally save these days :(
Poor Spain, let those people live in peace, they didn't harm anyone.

I am going to the US in 6 weeks and I'm also worried and try not to think about what could happen too often, but you can't watch the news without seeing any new bad story :(

No simone there isnt anywhere left that is safe :(

It would appear even the socialists pulling troops out of Iraq still isn't enough of a contribution to get these animals to **** off.

was on the news this morning that at least 3 people linked to the madrid bomb blew themselves up when the police where about to swoop on them.

Yep, a policeman died too, and many were injured. The building where it took place will have to be demolished, and the block where it happened had to be evacuated just in case :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

It seems we're living in terrorists' paradise. ETA, now these... :(

The worse thing is, I don't see it stopping anytime soon :cry:
