Barcelona: Las Ramblas reopens as police make fourth arrest over terror attacks

A fourth person is arrested over a series of suspected terror attacks that killed 14 people and injured 130 in Spain, authorities say, as a minute’s silence is held for victims in Barcelona.

Police shot dead five would-be attackers after confronting them in Cambrils, a town south of Barcelona where hours earlier a suspected attacker drove a van into crowds.

Authorities were continuing an urgent manhunt for the driver of the van that ploughed into crowds on the popular Las Ramblas tourist strip.

Of the four people already arrested, three were from Morocco and one was from Spain, police said.

They were aged between 21 and 34, and none had a history of terrorism-related activities.

Authorities have issued arrest warrants for four further suspects in connection with the two attacks, a judicial source said, declining to give their names.
