Manuel Pardiñas

Manuel Pardiñas Serrano was a Spanish anarchist who assassinated José Canalejas, the Prime Minister of Spain. Pardiñas shot Canalejas in front of the San Martín Library in Madrid on 12 November 1912. Pardiñas then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. He was reportedly from the town of El Grado in the province of Huesca.[1]
