Barcelona: Van rams crowds in Ramblas tourist area.

'At least one person died and 32 were injured - 10 of them seriously - after a van ploughed into
crowds in Barcelona's famous Las Ramblas tourist area, police and local officials say.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=2297]

The vehicle sped along the pedestrianised area, mowing down people and sending others fleeing
for cover in shops and cafes.
Witnesses said the van had deliberately targeted people before stopping.

Police are treating the incident as a terrorist attack.
Spanish media reports said the driver of the vehicle - a white Fiat that had been rented in the city
-fled on foot. Other unconfirmed reports say the death toll is as high as 13.

Local authorities in the small town of Vic in Catalonia say police have cordoned off the area and
are inspecting another van amid suggestions it may have been used as a getaway vehicle.

The attack happened at the height of the season in one of Europe's top tourist destinations.
Vehicles have been used to ram into crowds in a series of attacks across Europe since July
last year...'

Well, Spain is the latest 'dropping-off' spot for economic-migrants crossing the Med,
and we're still in the vacation period for Europeans enjoying the sunny beaches.
It's an ideal recipe for the disaster!

It's tin-foil time, Mystic.

Guess Who Claimed Responsibility?
Quote:Islamic State claims responsibility for Barcelona van attack
And those idiots in-charge will let more and more in to their country.
Our President Trump did the right thing in ordering a Ban on Muslims immigrating to America from those 7 countries, with out showing family here and a thorough back ground check.
MAGA!
Quote:CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in which a van plowed into crowds in the Spanish city of Barcelona on Thursday, the group's Amaq news agency said.

"The perpetrators of the Barcelona attack are soldiers of the Islamic State and carried out the operation in response to calls for targeting coalition states," the agency said, referring to a United States-led coalition against the Sunni militant group.

Quote:One dead after house explosion connected to Barcelona terror attack
They've made arrest also.
Quote:Catalan police have linked a house explosion from this morning, in which there was one fatality, to Thursday’s Barcelona attacks.



The incident was connected to the devastating terrorist attack in Barcelona’s Las Ramblas, which killed at least 13 people and injured more than 100 others, an official from Catalan Police said.

According to reports, the explosion was in the village of Alcanar in southern Catalonia.

It was a squattered house, and after the explosion firefighters found some 20 gas cylinders inside.

Several other houses were affected by the blast, which was put down to a gas leak.



Two men have been arrested in the wake of the devastating terror attack on Barcelona’s busy Las Ramblas street, while another two have been reportedly shot dead by police officers during an exchange of gunfire.

Quote:Second Spain terror attack in Cambrils after Barcelona rampage.

'Police say five suspects killed in Spanish resort town were carrying bomb belts and
had run over civilians with car.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=2298]

Spanish police have shot dead five attackers who ran over people in the seaside town of Cambrils.
Special forces were deployed to Cambrils just hours after a van ploughed into crowds in Barcelona's
famous Las Ramblas boulevard in which 13 people were killed and at least 100 others injured.

The Catalan government says the two attacks are linked.

The suspects in Cambrils were carrying explosive belts and a bomb squad was carrying out several
controlled explosions, police said. Six civilians and a police officer were when the attackers ran them
over in an Audi A3.

Mayor Cami Mendoza said the suspects centered their attack on the narrow path to Cambrils' boardwalk.
Footage of the operation in the early hours of the morning at the popular seaside resort, situated 62 miles
southwest of Barcelona, showed bystanders running for cover amid the sound of gunfire.

Screams and police sirens could be heard in another clip filmed from inside a restaurant as diners ran
for cover after hearing gunshots.

Catalan authorities urged local residents in a Twitter post to "stay home" and "stay safe".
Joan Marc Serra Salinas, a 21-year-old waiter, said he heard many gunshots - adding: "And shouting.
And more shouting. I jumped onto the beach and didn't move."

Police said the Cambrils plot was linked to the earlier attack involving a white Fiat van - the driver of which
remains at large and is the focus of a police manhunt - and an explosion 100 miles away in Alcanar.
Three people have been arrested over the Barcelona attack...'

Barcelona and Cambrils attacks: Who's been arrested over Spain terror?

Quote:'Police have released a photograph of suspect Driss Oukabir, a Moroccon national, who they say rented a van.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=2299]

Police have made three arrests after a van drove through crowds down Barcelona's famous tree-lined Las
Ramblas boulevard, killing 13 people and injuring at least 100 others.

Suspect 1
One of the men detained is the named suspect Driss Oukabir, a Moroccon national, who was from Marseille.
His Facebook page, which has now been taken down, also said he lived in the northern Catalan town of Ripoll,
located about 50 miles north of Barcelona.
Police identified him as a suspect and released a photograph of him, saying he rented a van.

The passport of a Spanish citizen, of Moroccan origin, was found at the scene.

However, he reportedly handed himself in after seeing his photo on the news and has denied any involvement
in the attack and told police his documents had been stolen by his brother...'


Because that's what brothers do.
mediumfacepalm
Quote:'...Suspect 2
A second man arrested is a Spanish national from Melilla, a Spanish autonomous city on the north coast of
Africa which shares a border with Morocco.

Suspect 3
This morning, it was reported that a third man had been arrested, though no more details about him have yet
been released.

All of the men were arrested in Ripoll and in Alcanar - where police have said there was an explosion on
Wednesday night connected to the van attack. One person died in the blast and another was seriously injured,
according to police.

They suspect those in the house were "preparing an explosive device".
Authorities this morning said they believe a cell of eight people may have been involved in planning the attacks,
and wanted to use gas cannisters as weapons.

Police are still hunting for the driver of the white Fiat van, who escaped the scene on foot, Police Major Josep
Lluis Trapero told a news conference on Thursday night.
It is not believed he was armed at the time.

Islamic State has said it is behind the attack, according to the AMAQ newsagency...'

With the Spanish Police scouring the resorts and countryside for the driver of the van used
to kill and maim in Barcelona, I suspect the Security agencies of the European Community
might just be able to possibly shine into the shady world of this current secretive terrorist
assault. Maybe even a name.

Er, oh wait, here's a picture of the driver that he took himself.

Quote:Barcelona attack van driver on the run.

'The driver, identified by reports as Moussa Oukabir, fled on foot after ploughing into crowds on
Las Ramblas.

Police are on the hunt for the driver of a van that crashed into a crowd in Barcelona, killing at least
13 people and injuring more than 100.
Three people have so far been arrested - but the driver of the vehicle is said to have fled on foot.
He has been identified by Spanish news agency EFE as Moussa Oukabir.

He is the younger brother of Driss Oukabir, whose ID was used to rent the van and whose photo
police released in the aftermath of the attack.

Driss Oukabir is a Moroccon national who was from Marseille.
A Facebook account says he lives in Ripoll, Catalonia, about 50 miles north of Barcelona.
He claims his brother stole his ID and reportedly handed himself in to the police station at Ripoll after
he saw his photo in the media. He said he was in Ripoll at the time of the attack...'

Quote:9/11 pilot met al Qaeda plotter in Cambrils.

'One of the September 11 pilots visited the Spanish coastal town with a fellow plotter while
planning the US attack.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=2302]


The Spanish town of Cambrils has previous links to terrorism having hosted a meeting between
a pilot in the 9/11 attacks and an al Qaeda plotter.
A woman died and six other people were injured in the coastal town overnight in a second vehicle
attack following the atrocity in Barcelona.

It is the second time the town has been linked to terrorism after Mohammed Atta, who piloted the
first hijacked airliner into the World Trade Center, visited Cambrils before the 2001 atrocity.

He drove from Madrid to the seaside town after collecting fellow conspirator Ramzi bin al-Shibh,
and they are thought to have spent a night at a hotel there.

It is unknown where the two men went when they left the town, but they are believed to have spent
several days together planning the 9/11 attack.
Al Qaeda chose bin al-Shibh to be one of the September 11 hijackers but he was unable to obtain
a US visa.

Instead the Yemeni helped organise the attacks, finding flight schools for the hijackers in the US
and arranging financing for the operation.
Bin al-Shibh reportedly met Egyptian-born Atta while they were studying in Germany in the 1990s...'

It's been also suggested that Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster visited the resort from time-to-time.

Quote:Barcelona and Cambrils: 'Bigger' attacks were prepared.

'The suspects in the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils were planning one or more bigger
attacks than those that were carried out, police say.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=2306]


They said blasts on Wednesday in a town south of Barcelona deprived plotters of bomb
material, so they executed simpler attacks using vehicles to ram crowds.
Police are seeking Moussa Oukabir, thought to be 17, and three others.

Oukabir is suspected of carrying out Thursday's attack on Barcelona's Ramblas, where
13 people died. Scores of others were injured as a van driver zig-zagged along the famous
tourist street.

Moussa Oukabir, a Spanish citizen from the northern Catalan city of Girona, is suspected
of using his brother's documents to rent the van that mowed down people on the famous
boulevard.

Hours later, police killed five suspected jihadists in a second vehicle attack in the town of
Cambrils. A woman injured in that attack died later.

Police said the men killed in Cambrils were linked to the Barcelona attack, which the
Islamic State (IS) group said it had carried out.

Spanish media, quoting unnamed police sources, said Oukabir was among those killed
in Cambrils but there has been no official confirmation.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has condemned what he called a "jihadist attack"
in Barcelona. He has announced three days of national mourning and a minute's silence
was held at noon (10:00 GMT) on Friday...'

Confirmed dead:
Spaniard Francisco López Rodríguez, in his 60s
Italian Bruno Gulotta, 35
Italian Luca Russo, 25
Unnamed Belgian
Unnamed US citizen

UPDATE:
Apparently, the kid -Moussa Oukabir, the driver of the van -was one of the five that were shot and killed in Cambrils.
So that panned out nicely, eh?

Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, is believed to be the driver of the white van involved in the attack
on Thursday afternoon, but was not among those shot dead by security forces later that night.

According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, police in Catalonia said they were searching for
Abouyaaqoub, a Moroccan national living in the Spanish town of Ripoll, who is understood
to be a key member of a jihadist cell...'

UPDATE... and all the others.

Finally!

Quote:Barcelona attack: Van driver shot dead by police.

'Spanish police have shot dead the main suspect in last Thursday's Barcelona attack,
Younes Abouyaaqoub.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=2330]


Police believe he was the driver of a van which careered down the Las Ramblas avenue,
killing 13 and injuring more than 100 others.
He was killed some 25 miles (40km) west of Barcelona near a petrol station following a tip off.

Abouyaaqoub, wearing a fake explosive belt, is reported to have shouted "Allahu Akbar"
("God is Greatest"). An extensive manhunt was already under way when police closed in
on the Subirats area, close to Sant Sadurní d'Anoia.

Bomb disposal officers went to the scene and used a robot to examine the fake explosive
belt. This led to some delay before Abouyaaqoub could be officially identified.

The Catalan police said the operation was still under way and Cadena Ser radio reported
that an extensive search was continuing for another man and a van. Local residents described
seeing some 20 police cars heading for the scene and helicopters circling.

Police said the investigation was still international in scope.
At an earlier news conference, police described how after the Barcelona attack, Abouyaaqoub
made his escape on foot to the outskirts of the city where he hijacked a car.

CCTV footage in Spanish media appears to show him walking through a market district shortly
after the attack. Some 90 minutes after driving down Las Ramblas, Abouyaaqoub fled to the city's
university district, police said.

He hijacked the car before driving it through a police checkpoint and later abandoning the vehicle.
The male driver of the car, Pau Pérez, 34, from Vila Franca, was found stabbed to death in the
back seat. Police named him as the 15th victim of the Barcelona bloodshed and a later attack
in the resort of Cambrils...'
