Second Barcelona terror suspect killed in shootout with police

DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. August 17, 2017, 9:44 PM (IDT)

The suspect got out of a car and was shot dead when he opened fire on a police checkpoint, three hours after a van plowed into Las Ramblas crowds in Barcelona, killing 13 people. The driver was captured holed up in a nearby restaurant holding hostages. An accomplice got away. He is presumed to have been the suspect since shot dead.

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
