(AFP) The deadly church attack in Algeciras has rekindled Spanish concerns about the jihadist threat, which experts say is still present although the country has been relatively spared from attacks in recent years.
On Wednesday evening, a machete-wielding attacker entered two churches in the southern port city, killing a verger and badly wounding a priest.
Officials have identified the suspect as a 25-year-old Moroccan man, saying there appeared to be no third party involved.
“These are one-off actions, there is not going to be a campaign of attacks like there was years ago,” Carlos Igualada, head of the International Observatory on Terrorism Studies (OIET), told AFP.
