Spanish authorities are investigating what they said was a possible “terrorist” incident after a man stabbed several people at two churches in the southern Spanish port city of Algeciras, killing at least one person, a court source and a spokesperson for the city said.
The man attacked clergymen at two different churches – San Isidro and Nuestra Senora de La Palma, around 300 metres (1,000 feet) apart – just after 8pm on Wednesday evening in downtown Algeciras, a spokesperson for the city said. A source at Madrid’s High Court said the incident was being investigated as terrorism.
