From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A bomb has exploded inside a cathedral in the north-eastern city of Zaragoza. Nobody was injured, but the building was damaged.
The blast occurred at about 1.50pm in a central aisle close to the main altar of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pilar, and people were evacuated from the building.
The explosion occurred just three days before the city’s annual Pilar festival, which attracts tens of thousands of people. An interior ministry official said no group has taken responsibility for the device, which police said was fashioned using a small camping gas canister.
The church dates to the 12th century, but it was mostly built between the 17th and 19th centuries. It took its name from a stone pillar inside, which some faithful believe was left there by the Virgin Mary. The pillar was not damaged by the explosion.
