Letter bomb found at U.S. Embassy in Spain, the sixth device targeted to high-profile officials in 24 hours

Authorities defused a letter bomb at the U.S. Embassy in Madrid, Spain, on Thursday and said several other similar devices were sent out to high-profile government officials and embassies. The first of the suspicious and potentially dangerous devices was addressed to Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Nov. 24. Similar devices have been found at the Spanish defense ministry, an air force base, a weapons manufacturer and the Ukrainian embassy. Spain’s Defence Minister Margarita Robles said it would not deter the country from supporting Ukraine and its ‘just cause’ to fight back against Russia. Russia first invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Russia militarily captured the Donbas, including the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, but Ukrainian forces have regained some territories. . . .
