Five Terrorists Shot Dead In Barcelona After 13 Civilians Killed By Truck
Five terrorists wearing suicide belts have been shot dead by Spanish police after a second vehicle attack.
Seven people were injured in the coastal town of Cambrils overnight - including one police officer.
An hour's drive away in Barcelona, a manhunt is underway for the driver of the van that killed 13 and injured 100 others - while two other suspects have been arrested.
The vehicle veered from side to side down the city's busiest tourist street - Las Ramblas - sending people dashing for cover.
It's emerged that 26 of the injured in Barcelona are French nationals - 11 of those people sustained serious injuries
Amy McColgan from Letterkenny in Donegal works near where the attack happened:
Authorities are now linking the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils with an explosion at a house hours earlier in the town of Alcanar that left one person dead.
Police say it appears the residents had been "preparing an explosive device".
Spain's prime minister has described the killings as "jihad terrorism".
Catalonia's regional president is Carles Puigdemont:
