The death toll of terrorist attacks in Barcelona goes to 15

On the other hand, the search is continuing for the driver, who in his car hit the crowd last week in Barcelona. Authorities say research is now under way throughout Europe.

Joakim Forn, regional interior minister in Catalonia, said today that “anything suggests” that the driver of the minibus was Youth Aboujanoub, 22, born in Morocco.

Authorities say they do not rule out the possibility he has crossed the border and has reached France.

The first four - day attack in Barcelona was linked to another attack several hours later at the Cambrilis resort, where a female was killed by automobile strikes against random passersby until the attackers left the vehicle and began slaughtering people with knives.

Police said yesterday that of the 12 suspected members of the terrorist cell, only one, possibly the person Abouyaqopub, remains on the run.

Four of the suspects have been arrested, while five others have been shot dead by police in Cambridge.

Two others were killed by an explosion at a house in the town of Alkanar, where authorities consider the two attacks planned.

Police said approximately 120 gas canisters were found in a house in Alkanar.
