Barcelona attack: Spain terror cell had 120 gas canisters
20 August 2017 Europe
A 12-strong terror cell that carried out two attacks in Spain this week had collected 120 gas canisters and was planning to use them in vehicle attacks, Spanish police say.
Canisters were found at a house, said to be used by the cell, that blew up in the town of Alcanar on Wednesday night.
Police are still hunting for the driver of the van that hit dozens of people on Barcelona's Las Ramblas, killing 13.
On Sunday, a Mass was held in Barcelona to mourn the victims.
