A news article on the cause of rising oil prices due to terrorism
The world's major oil consumers remain dependant on the Middle East for their oil. Recent violence in Iraq and Arabia has again raised fears about an interruption to supplies.
Iraqi exports have been cut by sabotage attacks on oil facilities. The reduction in prices has been relatively modest but it has caused some doubts about Iraq's longer term prospects of becoming a large and stable oil exporter.
Attacks on foreign workers in Saudi Arabia by Al-Qaeda-inspired millitants have also increased tensions. Any substantial attack on Saudi oil facilities would be a major event for world oil markets. The country is the world's biggest producer and, by far, the biggest exporter.

An article on the 2004 Madrid train bombings
During the peak of Madrid rush hour on the morning of Tuesday, 11 March 2004, ten explosions occured aboard four commuter trains. All the affected trains were travelling on the same line and the same direction between Acala de Henares and the Atocha station in Madrid. It was later reported that thirteen improvised explosive devices(IEDs) had been placed on the train. Bomb-disposal teams (TEDAX) arriving at the scenes of the explosives detonated two of the remaining three IEDs in controlled explosions, but the third was not found until later in the evening, having been stored inadvertently, with luggange taken from one of the trains.
