  • Story Text: Spain launched a sweeping anti-terrorism operation on Friday (August 18), after a suspected Islamist militant drove a van into crowds in Barcelona, killing 13 people and wounding scores.
    Islamic State said the perpetrators had been responding to its call for action by carrying out Thursday's (August 17) rampage along Barcelona's most famous avenue, which was thronged with holiday-makers enjoying an afternoon stroll at the peak of the tourist season.
    On Las Ramblas, residents and tourists trickled back to the famous promenade, many stopping to pay their respects at a tribute for the victims.
    Police said they had arrested a Moroccan and a man from Spain's North African enclave of Melilla, though neither of them was the van driver. He was seen escaping on foot and was still at large. A third man was arrested in the town of Ripoll on Friday.
