(AFP) Spain’s top criminal court has opened a probe after a car ploughed into a bar terrace, killing a diner, to establish whether the driver was motivated by “terrorism,” judicial sources said Tuesday.
The incident, which was initially thought to be an accident, took place on Friday afternoon at Honey’s Bar in Torre-Pacheco, some 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the southeastern town of Murcia.
The driver, whom police identified as a 30-year-old Moroccan national, also died in the incident in which two other people were also injured.
The National Court “has opened proceedings to investigate the incident as terrorism,” the judicial source said.
