At least two people killed, 20+ injured.
The van entered the pedestrian lane in the center of the Ramblas (street, not district) from Pl. Catalunya.
Police is still looking for a second van.
So terrible.

The ETA have killed over 820 people since 1968 and injured 1,000's. The Atocha train bombing in 2004 killed 192 and injured 1,000's. Unfortunately this is not new for Spain.
Expect more terrorism as ISIS becomes weaker, as they do not want to appear as such. Does any of the effect me? Well maybe. We were supposed to go Belarus next year and the Russians just sent 100,000 troops in. So we might not go. But Spain, France, England, nah.
I saw the second plane hit the Trade Center and our building was consumed by twice by ashes and human remains that day. But I resolved not to be intimidated.
