A man was last night shot dead on the outskirts of Barcelona after speeding through a roadblock, injuring two police officers. It is not known, however, if he was linked to the terror plot.
Two men, a Spanish national and a Moroccan, have been arrested, but neither was at the wheel of the Fiat van which mounted the pavement and sped into crowds of pedestrians.
Less than 24 hours earlier, an explosion at a house in Alcanar, 125 miles south of Barcelona, is believed to have been caused by butane canisters linked to the terror attack. A terror cell is thought to have been planning to fill the van with explosives.
