Spain : Spanish police say they have killed five suspected terrorists in the town of Cambrils to stop a vehicle attack, after an earlier one in Barcelona.
The men, wearing explosive belts, were linked to the first attack, police say.
Thirteen people died and dozens were hurt when a van hit crowds in the Las Ramblas area of Barcelona on Thursday. The driver fled and is still at large.
Spain’s PM Mariano Rajoy described it a “jihadist attack”, which so-called Islamic State said it had carried out.
Mr Rajoy has announced three days of national mourning and a minute’s silence will be held later on Friday.
The authorities are now also linking the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils with an explosion at a house on Wednesday evening in the town of Alcanar that left one person dead.
Police chief Josep Lluis Trapero said it appeared the residents at the Alcanar house had been “preparing an explosive device”.
