The Zaragoza-Delicias Station is being evacuated, in part of its facilities, due to the presence of a suspicious backpack. The warning received by passengers of one of the trains that must pass through the city of Aragon’s capital in the next hours referred literally to a “bomb backpack”. In fact, this train will make a stop, for an indefinite period, in Alagón.
The National Police have confirmed that they have received a call to the CIMACC 091 alerting them to the presence of a possible suspicious backpack. This has led to the activation, from the Superior Police Command of Aragón, of Circular 50.
The situation is notably concerning after, on the past 10 November, a backpack with an explosive device exploded during a police operation at a building in the neighborhood of Villafría in Oviedo, where the agents had gone following a shooting in which a 17-year-old minor was injured.
The explosion caused the death of sub-inspector Juan José Rodríguez, a member of the Canine Guide unit, and also of the dog accompanying him, while a specialist from the TEDAX was seriously injured. The agents had located the backpack on the landing of the building and were handling it outside when the detonation occurred.
