Explosives found BOMB specialists with the National Police were called to Marbella after undetonated explosives were found, three of them near a golf course. Officers with the National Police’s TEDAX explosives unit were sent to the golf course after a worker there found what looked like three metal objects nearby. Two of the objects were around 30 centimetres long while the other was about half a metre long. The worker realised they were explosives and called police, unsure if they were still live. Officers later confirmed the explosives, which were two small shells and a mortar round, were live, but disused. One of them was destroyed in a controlled explosion while the other two were removed from the area. Police decided to look in the area to check to see if there were any more explosives. A fourth one was found which was also removed.

A PATIENT threatened to kill staff during a rampage in a San Pedro de Alcantara health centre on Tuesday, the second violent incident there in a week. The CSIF medical workers union said the man arrived at the clinic at around 12.45pm and demanded medication. Staff told him he would have to wait 15 minutes which ‘irritated him.’ The patient then began smashing glass dividers, cutting his hands. He also threw a table over leaving medical supplies strewn across the floor and cornered nurses before other patients stepped in. The man threatened to kill anyone who called the police if he was arrested, according to CSIF. The assault comes after National Police officers were called when a woman showing signs of drunkenness began hitting a doctor in the emergency waiting room there on Tuesday, July 16. CSIF officials have since called on the Junta de Andalucia to take ‘real and effective’ measures against patient assaults. Other health centres were being monitored 24 hours a day because of a spike in staff assaults, according to the union. It comes as there have been at least 45 alleged or proven assaults on staff in Malaga Province health centres so far this year.
