The Religion of Peace Strikes Again--Barcelona, Spain

From The Sun.

       Another Islamic terrorist attack in Europe using a vehicle: this time in Barcelona, Spain. From the Daily Mail:

        At least 13 people have been killed and dozens injured after a van in Barcelona ploughed into pedestrians in a busy tourist street. 

         Pictures and video emerging from the scene show armed police and paramedics rushing around Las Ramblas, a busy promenade in the centre of the city, as victims lie hurt in the street. 

         Local media are reporting that Driss Oukabir, named earlier by police as a suspect, has been arrested. 

        One suspect has been killed after a shootout on the outskirts of the city with police, La Vanguardia newspaper has reported.   

          It remains unclear how many attackers were involved in the incident, which is being treated by police as a terror attack.  

        Horrifying footage recorded at the scene shows dozens of victims lying injured on the pavement. 

         Police have confirmed that at least 64 people are hurt, with Catalonia's interior minister Joaquim Forn saying it is 'very possible' that the number of dead will rise because of the 'very serious' wounds to victims.  

         The civil guard has said the van used in the attack was rented by Oukabir in the town of Santa Perpetua de la Mogada. 

         A second van was found parked in the town of Vic some 50 miles north of Barcelona after police said it could have been used as a getaway vehicle. 

 Driss Oukabir is Moroccan, born there in 1989.  According to The Sun, one terrorist was killed in a shootout with police. There were rumors that two terrorists took hostages after fleeing on foot, but a Washington Post article indicates that it was just that--rumors. (More from the AP here; and from The Atlantic here).
