Spain: Photos Leaked of Suspects in Attacks That Killed 16

by Associated Press

   MADRID --

   Spanish media are publishing previously unseen photographs of some of
   the men authorities identified as the extremists behind last year's
   terror attacks in Barcelona and a nearby resort town.

   La Vanguardia newspaper reported Tuesday that the photos were leaked
   from the police investigation of the Aug. 17-18 vehicle attacks that
   left 16 people dead and were claimed by the Islamic State group.

   The photos feature 22-year-old Younes Abouyaaquoub, who was identified
   as the driver of a van that plowed through Barcelona's Las Ramblas
   promenade and killed 13 people.

   Also seen are one of the five men identified as the Cambrils attackers
   and a man whose body was found at a house the extremists allegedly used
   as an explosives workshop.

   King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez are scheduled to attend
   anniversary ceremonies on Aug. 17 to mark the attacks.
