Quote:A 12-strong terror cell that carried out two attacks in Spain this week had collected 120 gas canisters and was planning to use them in vehicle attacks, Spanish police say.

Canisters were found at a house said to be used by the cell that blew up in the town of Alcanar on Wednesday night.

Police are still hunting for the driver of the van that hit dozens of people on Barcelona's Las Ramblas, killing 13.

On Sunday, a Mass was held in Barcelona to mourn the victims.

In addition to the 13 killed on Thursday afternoon on Las Ramblas, a woman died in a second vehicle attack early on Friday in the town of Cambrils. Five suspected jihadists were shot dead by police in the second attack.

Catalan police chief Josep Lluis Trapero has given an update on the investigation.

He said the cell was still believed to consist of 12 men and had been planning attacks for more than six months. One person remained at large, four were under arrest and there were two sets of human remains to be identified, he added.

The fact that Fox hired her is pathetic. Bannon needs to get a competitor up and running ASAP.

In Spain left wing protesters have been going at with protesters who want to stop Muslim immigration.
We are talking a couple of days after the attack. Amazing.

Reports coming out that they were going to blow up a Catholic Basillica

Quote:Police have shot a man believed to be the jihadist who mowed down 13 people in Barcelona — as he shouted “Allahu akbar” while wearing what appeared to be an explosives belt, according to reports.

Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, was identified as the probable driver of the white van that killed 13 people on Barcelona’s La Ramblas promenade on Thursday.

The Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia said Mossos d’Esquadra police shot the suspect but authorities did not immediately confirm the report.

“They have shot dead a suspect who could be the perpetrator of the attack,” a source close to the probe, who declined to be named, told Agence France-Presse.

Media reports quoting police sources said the man shouted “Allahu Akbar” — “God is Greatest” — when confronted, the BBC reported.
