CWN Editor's Note: Several Franciscan friars were hospitalized, one perhaps fatally, after a man burst into the Monastery of Santo Espíritu del Monte in Gilet, Spain on November 9 and began beating the occupants.
The Franciscan community was withholding the names of the injured friars. Early news reports indicated that one friar had died of head injuries. A later update said that he was alive but in critical condition.
Police arrested the assailant, who was a man with a history of drug use. Authorities said that the attack did not appear to be a terrorist incident.
