The southern Spanish city of Algeciras was reeling Thursday, a day after a machete-wielding assailant stormed into two churches.

Juan Jose Marina, the parish priest of Nuestra Senora de La Palma, told public radio the idea of such an attack was unimaginable “because our ties with the Islamic world in Algeciras are good and we’ve never had any sort of problem”.

“It just defies all logic,” agreed Dris Mohamed Amar, spokesman for the local Muslim community, who was speaking on the same radio programme, saying he hoped “it was an isolated case by a demented lunatic and not something premeditated”.
