About two months after a series of attacks with multiple letter bombs in Spain, a suspect has been arrested.
The 74-year-old man was arrested on the street in Miranda de Ebro, about 300 kilometers north of Madrid, state television broadcaster RTVE and other media reported on Wednesday based on a spokesman for the Spanish national police. The authorities confirmed this information upon request.
At the time, the Spanish government had not ruled out that the series of letter bombs at the end of November could be related to the war in Ukraine. The six shipments went, among others, to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the embassies of the US and Ukraine.
A defense company whose products were supplied to Ukraine, as well as Defense Minister Margarita Robles and the EU Satellite Center at Torrejón Air Force Base each received one of these letter bombs.
According to the media, citing the police, the programs contain self-made mechanisms with a relatively small amount of pyrotechnic material and small metal balls. Only one shipment exploded. An employee of the Ukrainian embassy was injured in the hand. (aeg/sda/dpa)
