Pope Francis is calling for an end to the “inhuman violence” that has targeted innocents in Burkina Faso, Spain and Finland in recent days. In Spain, members of an extremist cell mowed down pedestrians in Barcelona and a nearby seaside resort, killing 14 and injuring more than 120. ___11:50 a.m.Vancouver police say 53-year-old Canadian Ian Moore Wilson was among those killed in the Barcelona attacks and his wife Valerie was wounded. Thursday’s van attack in Barcelona killed 13 people. The investigation is also focusing on a missing imam who police believe could have died in a massive house explosion Wednesday.
