5 Islamic terrorists have been shot dead by Spanish police in a second act of terrorism. This one took place in a beach resort southwest of Barcelona.
Seven people including a police officer were injured. Police say the jihadis were wearing fake explosive belts and were connected to the attack earlier on a crowded tourist street in Barcelona.
In that attack at 5:00 in the afternoon local time, thirteen people have died with at least 100 others injured after a van jumped the curb and rammed into crowds of people.
Three people have been arrested but the driver fled and remains on the run. It’s believed he’s an 18 year old Spanish national of Moroccan descent. ISIS has claimed responsibility.
In yet another incident on the outskirts of Barcelona, police shot and killed a man who drove into officers at a checkpoint. Authorities aren’t sure if this was connected to the other two attacks.
