Early Friday, Catalan police said they shot and killed five suspects in response to a terrorist attack in the seaside resort town of Cambrils, south of Barcelona. Catalan Interior Minister Joaquin Forn told local radio RAC1 early Friday that the Cambrils attack "follows the same trail" as the Barcelona attack. He did not explain what connected the attacks but confirmed that the driver in the Barcelona attack remains at large. The Catalan regional government said citizens from 24 countries were among the people killed and injured during the Barcelona van attack. Various Spanish media said the IDs with his name were found in the attack van and that he claimed his brother might have stolen them.
