    11-M = 11 March 2004, date of the bombing of four Madrid commuter trains by Al-Quaeda-inspired terrorists
    11-M
    The al-Qaeda-inspired bombings in Madrid on the morning of 11 March 2004 destroyed several train lines and killed almost 200 people. This is the bloodiest terrorist atrocity in recent Spanish history, and has consequently become a significant point of reference – it is commonly referred to as 11-M, denoting the day and month when it occurred. This use of a figure followed by the initial of a month is used as a form of shorthand for a number of significant dates. Thus 23-F signifies the attempted coup in the parliament building in Madrid on 23 February 1981, and 20-N refers to the date of Franco's death – 20 November 1975. The Spanish equivalent of “9-11” to refer to the attack on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001 is 11-S.
