MSM IGNORES STORY, NEVER HAPPENED IN THE NEWS MEDIA.
Catalan police have identified the five terrorists who were shot dead
in Cambrils. Authorities say the Barcelona and Cambrils attacks, which
left 14 people dead and some 130 others injured, was their plan B after a
bombing plot was disrupted by the explosion in Alcanar.
All five of the terrorists are Moroccans. The list of dead suspects includes Omar Hychami, 21, born in Morocco; 19-year-old Moroccans Houssaine Abouyaaqoub and Said Aallaa; Mohamed Hychami, 24, born in Morocco and Moussa Oukabir, 17, according to Europa Press.
Two officers were inside the police car. One of them suffered head and leg injuries in the crash and his partner was forced to confront the attackers on his own. He shot and killed four of them.
Graphic footage of the confrontation, obtained by La Vanguardia,
captured the moment one of the terrorists was being gunned down by the
officer with several onlookers watching on in shock.
The perpetrator is seen taunting the officer, shouting: “Allahu akbar,” and ignoring commands to surrender and lay down. After the first shots were fired at him, the suspect falls to the ground, but quickly stands up and continues running until more bullets hit him.
The name of the policeman who killed the four terrorists remains undisclosed. La Vanguardia reports that psychologists counseled him after the incident.
The fifth attacker managed to flee while injuring a woman who later died in hospital. He was shot dead by another police unit shortly afterwards.
Police identified all 5 terrorist cell members killed in Cambrils, but are still unsure if one of them was the driver of the van involved in the Barcelona ramming earlier.
Police are still searching for Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, who has not been ruled out as possibly being the van driver in Barcelona.
Earlier, Spanish media outlets, citing police sources, reported
that the alleged van driver of the Barcelona attack, named as Moussa
Oukabir, was one of those shot and killed in Cambrils later.
Authorities, however, are yet to confirm that information, as they believe the driver might still be on the run.
Investigators believe the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils were organized by a cell of at least 12 terrorists. Five of them were killed in Cambrils and four others detained. Authorities have also identified three others – two of whom could have died in Alcanar, something they are still investigating.
Authorities have yet to identify the driver of the van in the Barcelona attack, Catalan regional police official Josep Lluis Trapero said during a news conference Friday, noting that Wednesday’s Alcanar explosion, the Barcelona ramming and the Cambrils attacks are all connected.
Authorities believe the two attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils are directly linked to Wednesday night’s explosion in Alcanar where police discovered at least 20 gas containers.
Investigators believe the house, which was destroyed in the blast, served as a safe house for a terrorist network, and that an accidental explosion prevented the suspects from carrying out a much bigger attack.
We have already identified 5 people shot down in Cambrils. On the other hand there are 4 people arrested and 3 more identified,” Catalonia’s police tweeted.An Audi A3 vehicle with five perpetrators inside drove along the beach promenade in Cambrils, hitting four people. The car then crashed into a police cruiser on an intersection and overturned, the La Vanguardia paper reported. The terrorists got out of the vehicle and attempted to stab pedestrians with knives and an axe. They were wearing items resembling suicide vests which turned out to be fake.

“We work with the hypothesis that the suspects were preparing both attacks for some time in this building of Alcanar. It was a group, we do not know the specific number, but we do not rule out having other attacks in mind. They are all identified,” he said.On Thursday afternoon a van plowed into pedestrians on a popular tourist street in Barcelona, killing 13 people and injuring more than 100 others. Hours later, terrorists launched a second attack in the seaside town of Cambrils, injuring seven people, one of whom later died.

Investigators believe the house, which was destroyed in the blast, served as a safe house for a terrorist network, and that an accidental explosion prevented the suspects from carrying out a much bigger attack.
“The Alcanar blast triggered the attacks… It’s not what they had in mind initially,” Trapero said, according to Reuters.
“The blast has prevented a larger bombing from happening.”
