Terrorist attack in Barcelona (13 dead)
 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-euro...e=news_central

La Ramblas is one of the biggest tourist spots in Europe, takes forever walking up there because of how many people there always is. Hopefully there will be no casualties.

RIP.

OMG such horrible news :(

Terrible, hope it's not terrorism :(

They are saying two armed men have entered a restaurant hope that is not true

The worrying thing seems to be that this has simply caught on as a method of attack. Of course when it's not an accident it's always "terrorism" in the broadest sense of the word... but it's certainly not confined to one group and doesn't seem to even necessarily involve ANY ideologies. It seems like (somehow) in 100 years of motor vehicles, people en masse hadn't realised that 2+ tonnes of metal travelling at speed makes a very effective weapon, and now they suddenly have and people are increasingly using that weapon. Really worrying tbh.

Really worrying news. Having been there myself, I know how busy that area can be. Hopefully no major casualties. :fc:

omg :(

I know how terrifying it is and sad to see it happening again.
Evil scums.

Running people over seemed to start at least in Europe with running over Lee Rigby RIP, from there it seems to have developed, its very effective and undetectable until it's too late

It's scary, methods of attacks have devolved in such a way that it makes it more difficult to track. Law enforcement agencies can track the sales of weapons and suspicious materials that can be used in bombs but what can they do if someone decides to get into a car and drive through a crowd?

From what i remember hearing on some documentary a while ago it used to be a method used by Palestinians in Israel.They'd plough down groups of Israelies who were at bus stops etc.Then ISIS adopted it in Europe.

British lady just arrived her kids are scarred

It a horrible and frightening in form of mass murder that almost anyone with the desire can aspire to.

Was only walking down Las Ramblas myself a few weeks ago, hits you hard when you see stuff like this in the news of places you've been.

I've been to Barcelona many times over the years and it has always crossed my mind how easy it would be to attack Las Ramblas. Barcelona is a busy city but that area particularly is a hub of activity for tourists and locals 24/7. Dread to think how terrifying it would be there during today's events.

Absolutely awful. Thoughts with all affected by this

One USA Business fellow
was able to run into a Hotel
and they gave him a Key to lock himself away.



Started a 4PM Spanish time
very busy Tourist street
And a 2nd van connected.


I would assume its Isis
as they have lost Territory
I hope they get them.
