Spain has convicted over 200 jihadists since the 2004 Madrid train bombing, seeing far fewer attacks compared to other European countries.
Spain has also amended laws and the penal code to allow terrorist sentences to be applied to those who were simply radicalised but had not carried out an attack or even taken real steps to carry one out.after committing attacks against two different Roman Catholic churches in Algeciras on Wednesday night. Investigators are still trying to determine if the attacker had been motivated by radical Islamic extremist ideologies.
The attacker, 25-year-old Moroccan citizen Yasine Kanjaa, targeted clergymen in the churches, killing sacristan Diego Valencia and injuring several others, including a priest who was stabbed in the neck and shoulder. If the attack is determined to be Islamic terrorism it would be not only the first terror attack in Spain since 2017 but would also be the first “lone wolf-style attack” that has become common in neighbouring France and in Germany.
