Spain investigates church attacks

-The suspect in a machete attack on two churches in southern Spain in which one clergyman was killed and another seriously injured is a 25-year-old Moroccan man who was due to be deported from the country, police said on Thursday. The suspect was arrested on Wednesday evening after a man wielding a machete attacked several people at two churches, 300 meters apart, in the southern port city of Algeciras.

According to a police source, the suspect has no criminal nor terrorism-related convictions either in Spain or any known country. The man was not in Spain legally and his deportation process began last June and was ongoing, the source said.
