Spanish politician shot in Madrid points finger at Iran

"The Spanish politician shot in Madrid earlier this month accused Iran of being behind his attempted murder in a message delivered to a conference organized by Iranian opposition supporters.

Alejo Vidal-Quadras, a founder of Spain's Vox party and former head of its People's Party in Catalonia, was shot in the face in broad daylight on a pavement in the wealthy Salamanca neighborhood of central Madrid on Nov. 9 by a motorbike pillion passenger. The 78-year-old politician, who was European Parliament vice-president between 2009 and 2014, was described shortly after the shooting as a "staunch supporter" of Iran's opposition movement and the campaign for human rights in Iran over 25 years.
He remains in hospital recovering from a double jaw fracture." Reuters
