Spain's Interior Minister Angel Acebes said on Wednesday that the terrorists who bombed Spanish trains last month paid in drugs for the explosives. "The bombing cell apparently obtained the dynamite used in the March 11 attacks from delinquents in a coal-mining region of northern Spain who accepted drugs as payment for the explosives, Acebes said in Madrid," according to the Press Association. "The bombers used proceeds from drug sales to rent an apartment, buy a car and purchase cell phones used as detonators in the 10 backpack bombs that killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800 in four commuter trains, Acebes said."
