April 16, 2013 23:38

Spain dismissed its consul in Boston today for failing to carry out his duties following the bombing in the US city's marathon that killed three people and wounded more than 170, a foreign ministry official said.

Consul Pablo Sanchez-Teran "has been informed that he was dismissed for breach of his consular obligations", the official told AFP. Spanish media reported that the consul was dismissed from his post because the Spanish consulate in Boston closed yesterday at its normal hour after the twin blasts at the Boston Marathon in which some 90 Spanish nationals were registered as participants.
