Spain PM makes gaffe in
train condolence text
MADRID (AP) The Spanish prime minister's office admits it made an
embarrassing mistake when it sent out a condolence message to the victims of a
train derailment that killed 80 in Spain by including a sentence from an
earlier statement expressing regret over deaths in a Chinese earthquake.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's office says the inclusion of
a last paragraph that extends sympathy over deaths in Gansu, China was "an
error" - but he could not explain how it had occurred. The sentence
appeared in a statement sent Monday to the Chinese people.
The spokesman, who
requested anonymity in line with government policy, said the paragraph was
promptly removed from the statement, which was sent out late Wednesday.
