No confirmation wither this is terrorist or not so have started a seperate thread.

Local metro and trains stations have been closed. Rumours that someone is on the run.

Is this down to ETA or Isis?

^ That's in poor taste GG, I expected better from you.

Re. this latest incident, I find this latest trend of mowing down innocent pedestrians repulsive and sickening. Sadly, the scum who perpetrate such hideous acts are also succeeding in their quest for scaring the civilian population as some people are actually thinking twice about going out.

The sad truth about all this though is that the authorities are helpless in the face of such acts. I don't suppose they're going to ban all vehicles now are they?

It's only going to continue because it's so hard to predict and stop and cars are so much easier to acquire and use than guns and bombs.

Very hard to deal with as you say.

Probably one of the most diverse cities on earth, a crazy bustling hive of activity from all corners of Europe and well beyond. A history of quite socialist leanings. Also a city once controlled for a period by the Moors of course, with Moorish architecture to this day.

It's roads are chaotic and its public open spaces are utterly packed, and sadly I daresay impossible to fully protect. Which is probably the only thing about the place the attacker(s) knew or cared for.

Sounds like a 2nd attack has been prevented with police killing many what I presume are suspects?

5 people shot dead by police before they blew themselves up with suicide vests in a second incident an hour or two down the coast from Barcelona.

Seems a coordinated and planned event.

I think this thread shows how used to these events we are that humerous instantly afterwards (Not a dig as I'm the same). Sad world we currently live in.

So regular that they stop being so shocking, nobody has even mentioning the knifings in Finland here.

I presume they knew about these people then?

Guess the police were just caught out in terms of the original attack but they've acted quickly since to break up the rest of the terrorists ring involved.
