Seriously? We have anarchists planting bombs in the cathedral?

A bomb has been found and disarmed in the Almudena Cathedral, and an anarchist group has taken responsibility.

The group is named after Mateo Morral, who killed a bunch of innocent people in an attempt to bomb King Alfonso XIII on his wedding day, right around the corner on Calle Mayor, in 1906.

Here’s the article in El País (in Spanish).

Weird.
