Oh Glory be: the agent was a woman!
I happily correct:
They headed for an agent of the Mossos, who downed them with her service gun.

Australia is to take a tough stance to prevent vehicle terror attacks I hope other countries follow suit. Every possible reasonable thing needs to be done to keep people safe particularly in tourist soft targets.
"A counter-terrorism strategy document will be given to Australian businesses and councils, outlining ways to prevent vehicle attacks similar to those seen in Barcelona and Nice, reports say.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is set to unveil the publicly available plan on Saturday, The Australian reports.
The plan will provide a do-it-yourself toolkit on installing bollards, and other methods of mitigating a hostile vehicle attack to businesses, councils and private operators.

Security stepped up at sporting events
Security is being stepped up at major sporting events in Spain.
The country's main football competition, La Liga, returns this weekend following its three-month summer break.
Barcelona's opening match against Real Betis will go ahead as planned at the Camp Nou stadium on Sunday. Additional police will be on duty at all major sporting venues.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/18/barcelona-terror-attack-cambrils-las-ramblas-latest/
I hope these security measures will include road blocks. A policeman or woman is not going to be able to stop a speeding car, lorry or truck being deliberately driven into a crowd. They will just be knocked down or have little to no time to fire at the driver.

The terrorists are so young...Foxfire used to talk about this, how ISIS recruit these young folks, often online...we'
re the terrorists families also terrorists? Were they raised this way or were these young folks recruited online? The software is encrypted, etc...I remember posting an article one time about this and also sending it to Foxfire.
Seeing these victims faces is heartwrenching...just so senseless, all of this....

El Pais Liveblog
https://elpais.com/ccaa/2017/08/18/catalunya/1503046409_768729.html
The police are working on several fronts in the investigation of the terrorist attack. The Mossos are still looking for the suspect in the attack on La Rambla of Barcelona. In Alcanar, where the alleged terrorists prepared the attack, they are carrying outcontrolled explosions. And in Ripoll this morning they have searched the apartment of a imam who might be one of the dead of Alcanar. They were looking for DNA samples to identify him.

It is suspected that one of the two bodies found in the house in Alcanar belongs to the imam. In this house, the terrorists tried to prepare TATP, but failed when the mixture exploded and left the house in rubble, killing two and wounding one man who remains in custody.

YOUNES ABOUYAACOUB MAIN SUSPECT IN BARCELONA MASSACRE
El Pais
https://politica.elpais.com/politica/2017/08/19/actualidad/1503136583_370626.html
The police search in the massacre in Barcelona now focuses on a single person: Younes Abouyaaqoub, born on 1 January 1995 in the small Moroccan town of Mrirt, 35,000 inhabitants and south of the road linking Rabat and Fez.
Until Thursday, Abouyaaqoub lived a seemingly normal life in the town of Ripoll - 10.000 inhabitants -, in the interior of the Catalan province of Girona. There he studied at the secondary education level and according to neighbors who knew him, he was mainly socializing with young people also of Moroccan origin.
According to police sources, Abouyaaqoub's documentation was found inside the second van intercepted by the Mossos in Vic after the massive crash, which killed 13 people and injured hundreds, many of them seriously. Among the victims are children.
The main hypothesis at this time is that after the accidental explosion of the house in Alcanar, Abouyaaqoub separated from the rest of the jihadist cell and undertook the mass rampage on La Rambla, until he escaped when he reached the height of the Lyceu.
Police investigate whether it was he who hijacked a white Ford Focus car that escaped from the check point on the Diagonal avenue of the Catalan capital Thursday at 19.45. He wounded an agent of the Mossos d'Esquadra. Shortly afterwards, in the town of Sant Just Desvern (Barcelona), a person killed by a knife appeared in the same vehicle. According to the investigation, the driver of the vehicle fled after leaving the car, with its owner badly injured in the seats of the back.
At first, anti-terrorist sources had mentioned that Abouyaaqoub had died. Late Friday, however, police denied that the young man was dead and said he is wanted as one of the main suspects. The hypothesis that Abouyaaqoub is the material author of the tragedy gained weight throughout the afternoon, to the detriment of the other option: 17-year-old Moussa Oukabir, killed in the shootout in Cambrils.
France's security forces have received a warning from the Spanish police to try to locate a Renault Kangoo van that could have crossed the border between the two countries, Le Parisien reported.

HOME OF IMAM OF RIPOLL SEARCHED BY CATALAN POLICE
El Pais
https://elpais.com/ccaa/2017/08/19/catalunya/1503134661_488654.html?rel=cx_articulo#cxrecs_s
The Mossos d'Esquadra investigate the role of the Ripoll imam, Abdelbaki Es Satty, in the preparation of the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. The Catalan police searched his house in the street of Sant Pere de Ripoll in the night of Friday to Saturday. Officials were seeking DNA samples because they suspect that Abdelbaki Es Satty is one of two people killed in the random explosion in a house in Alcanar, Tarragona, apparently used by terrorists to plot the attacks.
Abdelbaki had practiced as a imam in Ripoll for about two years, although he had left that function about two months ago, the believers explain in the mosque. They have since led the prayer themselves. Most of the terrorists detained (four) or shot dead by the police (five) live in Ripoll, the town where Abdelbaki preached, which raises questions about the role he played in their radicalization.
According to the Mossos, the preparation of the attacks was started a few months ago. The group intended to commit a major bomb attack in Barcelona. But the accidental explosion last Wednesday night in Alcanar, the logistics base of the cell, forced them to change plans. Investigators suspect that one of the bodies found in Alcanar's home is that of the Ripoll imam.

Imam Abdelbaki Es Satty is said to be around 40 years of age.

Regio7.cat
http://www.regio7.cat/arreu-catalun...19/els-mossos-registren-pis-limam/429777.html
The Mossos d'Esquadra have searched the apartment of the imam of Ripoll this morning. He might be one of the deadly victims of the Alcanar explosion. The agents came in at about twelve at night and searched the property until three in the morning.
The warrant of registration was in the name of Abdelbaki Es Satty, who would be about 40 years old and resided in the apartment with another man, who had hired a room for four months. The flatmate, who did not want to identify himself, explained that Es Satty had not been an imam in the municipality for some time and that on Tuesday he told him that he was traveling to Morocco - where he had a wife and children - on a trip . Both he and other neighbors in the block say that they had not noticed strange movements and that they had not observed that he had been radicalized.

TERROR CELL 'PLANNED TO ATTACK BARCELONA'S FAMOUS CATHEDRAL WITH LORRY LOADED WITH EXPLOSIVES'
Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ror-cell-planned-attack-Barcelona-church.html
The terrorists who killed 14 people and wounded over a hundred in Catalonia had originally planned to drive three vans packed with explosives into iconic parts of Barcelona including the Sagrada Familia cathedral, it has been reported.
Had their butane-filled gas containers not accidentally detonated the night before the atrocities on Thursday, the 12-person terror cell would have used them to maximise deaths in the tourist hotspots of the Spanish city, local media suggest.
They intended to explode one van in Las Ramblas, a second by the world-famous Sagrada Familia cathedral and the last in the port area of the city, El Español has claimed.
The cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most visited attractions in Europe.
Architect Antonio Gaudi began construction in 1882 and, despite him dying in 1926, it is still officially incomplete.
In 2010 it was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI as a minor basilica.
Security experts believe the gang wanted to hire a large truck like the one used to devastating effect in the Nice atrocity two years ago, but they were unable to get permits so had to settle with smaller vans.

Julian, 7, was found alive. According to LE, he was hospitalized at Barcellona. He will be reunited with his father the soonest possible. Sources in this post : http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...na-attack-17-Aug-2017&p=13573273#post13573273
My own hypothesis is that he was hospitalized in a pediatric hospital as a John Doe, pending his identification.

So, he is either dead or in the hospital because no victims are missing.
