Barcelona Attack

Barcelona Las Ramblas

The vehicle-borne attack in Barcelona on Thursday the 17th August served to highlight the ongoing vulnerability of urban centres to this terrorist tactic. The Las Ramblas attack, which killed 13 and injured over 100, is only the latest in a string of vehicle-based attacks in Europe, and came only shortly after a far-right extremist carried out a similar attack in Charlottesville on Saturday August 12th, killing one.
