Breitbart London:
Spanish police have confirmed a rented truck has struck a crowd on a popular tourist street in central Barcelona in what they are calling a “coordinated terrorist attack”, with the regional interior minister confirming 13 dead and 50 injured.
Update, 14:45 PM EST: The Spanish Royal Family tweeted a defiant message to the attackers. Translated into English, it reads: “They are assassins, simply criminals who are not going to terrorize us. All of Spain is Barcelona. La Rambla will be back for everyone.”
Original post follows:
Hours after the incident, three police officers were run over on the Barcelona Avinguda Diagonal, another major thoroughfare in the city roughly a mile away, as a car attempted to overrun a checkpoint. Spain’s El Mundo reports it is unknown whether the second incident is linked to the earlier fatal attack.
According to reports, the van involved in the incident left the road and entered the pedestrianized area of the walk and drove through the crowds until it crashed into a kiosk. Spanish police were quick to identify the incident as a “terrorist attack” and said the attackers had fled the scene.
Local media had reported earlier that the two attackers were “entrenched” in a bar in the nearby Raval de Barcelona district, however, this was subsequently revealed to be incorrect. The men are reported to be armed, but Spanish emergency services denied there has been a gun battle on Twitter.
Some two hours after the attack took place, it was reported police had made an arrest, with unconfirmed footage of one taking place circulating on Twitter.
France24 reports a passport was found in the attack vehicle belonging to a man with an “Arabic surname”, while local broadcaster TeleMadrid and elPeriodico reports the name of the man who hired the van involved in the attack as Driss el Ouakbir.
SNIP – And here’s something on that from Patriot Retort:
And just like that, CNN is back to blaming the vehicle.
Terrorists plowed through the Ramblas in Barcelona a short time ago. And Spain has already announced that this is, in fact, a terrorist attack.
Right now, nearly two dozen are injured with one confirmed dead. I expect that number will rise.
And the same news outfit that quickly placed the blame for the Charlottesville attack on the white supremacist driver is back to their old standby of blaming the vehicle.
Here’s their main page headline:
The Amish are at it again I see.
Meanwhile Merkel is still loading turd world riffraff into boats and shipping them off to further contaminate Europe. She won’t be satisfied until all there speak farsi.
It’s a lone terrorist and Trump did it !!
Nope ! Two in custody and they don’t look like white supremacists.
Workplace violence?
No, THIS is premeditated terrorism.
What happened in Charlottesville the other day was not terrorism.
It was vehicular homicide. Not likely premeditated.
Look for MSM to call these equivalent actions in 3..2..
It’s not because of Islam…the religion of peace. It is because they need more money, education, and exposure to the west.
What dumb sh**’s !!
Loco –
Right on cue !

You called it !
Sorry everyone…came home to this crap and exploded. Needed to vent.
CNN even used the word attack, yet pinned it on the van.
MSM to blame Trump because he supports Nazi’s in 3…2..1
@Left Coast Dan
CNN Fact: Vans can and do attack.
Sky News now saying 80 people are hospitalized.
SMH
Y’all planning any romantic European cities tours anytime soon??
1. Goat/donkey humping muzzrat terrorists attack and kill people
2. Media describes them as “Asians” and blames vehicle.
3. Dhimmi “leaders” of Eurabian caliphate, excuse me, countries tweet tepid Hallmark-style responses to terrorist attack.
4. Bouquet and teddy bear brigade piles mountain of crap and calls it “standing against terrorism”, etc.
5. Dhimmi “leaders” and leftard media declare the “Asian” terrorists do not represent the “religion of peace”
6. Dhimmi “leaders” bring more muzzrat rapefugees to Eurabia.
7. Repeat until Europe and Scandivania no longer exist.
Did I leave anything out?
If this is a copycat of Charlottesville who did the driver last weekend copy?!! Selective memory, already forgotten are Nice, France and the U.K., etc.
Yes it does make my blood boil: Confederate Van attack in Barcelona kills 13 and injures 50. WTF! I can’t wait for Jim Acosta and Wolf Blitzer’s report. Shep Smith (FOX) had it all phucked up this afternoon. I couldn’t make head nor tail of the asshole’s report.
@Left Coast Dan – and WHITE van at that.
White Van kills unarmed Spaniards.
The Leftist media will try *anything*…
if it’s not a copycat of Nice (blame the truck), but
if a copycat of Charlottesville (because, I guess, all Nazis are muslims…except for the violent ones…no, wait, that doesn’t work…all Nazis are the violent muslims…no wait, muslims are all peaceful…rats! This is a TOUGHIE!!!)
Apparently a secondary attack running over cops at the barricades, suspect shot dead.
The Ramlas is about a mile long and for pedestrians only unless you are driving a service vehicle. Looks like they were going for that look.
Loco called it before the MSM got an itch!
Confederate white van attacks minorities on vacation!
