Original Title: TIL The prime minister of Spain under the latter years of Franco's rule was assassinated by 80kg of explosives packed into a tunnel dug under a roadway. The explosion sent the prime minister's Dodge Dart 20 metres (66 ft) into the air and landed on the opposite side of a 5 story church.
