The Security Council reaffirmed the need to combat threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts and condemned the bomb attacks in Madrid, in which many people died and people injured. It mistakenly identified the Basque separatist group ETA as responsible for the attacks. It expressed sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and the people and government of Spain.
