Hand Grenade Thrown over Wall of Migrant Shelter in Madrid
----------------------------------------------------------

In Spain, a hand grenade was thrown over the walls of a shelter for
migrant children in the capital Madrid, in the latest attack against the
children. The grenade did not explode until the bomb squad carried out a
controlled explosion, and no injuries have been reported. The shelter
houses unaccompanied children who have migrated to Spain. Right-wing
politicians have repeatedly criticized the shelter, and a mob attacked
some of the shelter's children with clubs last month.
