Spanish court sentences man to 18 years for sending letter bombs to PM, embassies

A Spanish court on Tuesday sentenced a pensioner who in 2022 sent letter bombs to Spain's prime minister and the US and Ukrainian embassies to 18 years in prison.

Pompeyo Gonzalez Pascual, a 76-year-old who opposed Western support for Ukraine following Russia's February 2022 invasion, was found guilty of terrorism and manufacturing explosives for sending letter bombs to six addresses, the court said.
