The world was horrified upon learning of the terror attack that ended thirteen precious lives.
What Happened?
Earlier today, thirteen people died as a result of a white Fiat intentionally driving into Las Ramblas, as reported by BBC News. Las Ramblas is a highly popular tourist attraction in Barcelona, Spain, and attracts countless people. In addition to ending several lives, the attack caused many injuries. Bystanders who witnessed the attack report seeing the Fiat intentionally strike terrified individuals.
The Barcelona attack is an act of terrorism. One of the two people taken into custody is a young man by the name of Driss Oubakir. The authorities believe him to be the person who rented the van used to carry out the attack. Furthermore, Oubakir’s apparent goal was to engender maximum damage seeing as this season is most popular for tourists and travelers to visit Europe.
