The 2005 Ledua train bombings (also known in Quetana and neighboring countries as O-15), was a series of coordinated bombings against the Ledua commuter train system in Ledua, Quetana, on the morning of 15 October, 2005, which constituted the deadliest terrorist attack in Quetana's history. The bombings were perpetrated by Al-Fijar affiliated terrorists, and the attack claimed 391 lives and wounded more than 1,800 people. The attack occurred during the height of rush hour, contributing to the massive casualties. President of Quetana Jessica Castro began an investigation into the bombing, which resulted in the arrests of several al-Fijar members and uncovered numerous other terror plots which authorities were able to prevent.
