There was more to Barcelona than the truck killing over a dozen people in jihad.
There was a house that blew up.
Police have said today’s terror attack in Barcelona is linked an explosion that killed at least one person in a town 120 miles south of the city.
One person was killed and six were injured after a house, which contained more than 20 butane gas canisters, blew up in Alcanar, Catalonia at about 11.15pm on Wednesday night.
A second explosion took place after emergency services rushed to the scene, injuring six police officers and two firefighters as they sifted through rubble.
The Post explains a bit more than is in the previous post.
Police said they arrested two men, a Moroccan and a man from Spain’s north African enclave of Melilla, though neither was the driver. Witnesses said the driver fled on foot.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said the van attack in Barcelona was “jihadist terrorism” which required a global response.
“Today the fight against terrorism is the principal priority for free and open societies like ours. It is a global threat and the response has to be global,” Rajoy told a news conference in Barcelona.
At least the Spanish government is willing to call it Islamic jihad and terrorism, and not the fault of the van. Which is one of CNN’s attempts at causality.
Also this event after the truckicide:
Man killed after ramming Barcelona roadblock NOT linked to terror attack
Catalan police said a white Ford Focus ran over two police officers at a checkpoint in Barcelona after the van attack, but has since confirmed the incidents were not linked.
The Catalan police chief Josep Lluis Trapero confirmed the driver was shot dead as he careened into two officers manning the blockade.
Josep Lluis Trapero “This man is dead, he was a Spaniard, his connection to terrorists has not been confirmed.”
Officers reportedly used their weapons in an attempt to get the driver to stop. One of the injured officers has a broken leg.
CNN goes a step past the narrative into the LSD zone with this one, where they attempt to surgically remove guilt for Barcelona from Islam, to the American alleged neo-Nazis in Virginia.
Meanwhile four MORE dead in ANOTHER shooting attack in Barcelona:
FOUR suspected terrorists believed to be wearing explosive belts have been killed in a shootout with Spanish police in Cambrils, south west of Barcelona after carrying out a copycat attack.
Early reports claim the suspects carried out a similar attack to that in Barcelona by driving a van into pedestrians, injuring six people. Two of the victims are seriously injured.
A police officer has also suffered minor injuries in the shoot-out with the terrorists, emergency services confirmed.
A spokeswoman said that officers shot dead four perpetrators and injured one more, who has now been arrested, during the counter-terror raid.
Police confirmed that bomb disposal experts are on the scene investigating the “explosive vests”.
They have warned locals that they are about to conduct “several controlled explosions” in the coastal town.
ABC: Police have killed several people in response to a terrorist attack.

Thank you all who sent in materials. You know who you are, and please continue.
Its been an awful day for liberty and reason.
Clearly the revolution is on and CNN is its version of PRAVDA. Either for ratings and money, or because they are true believers. The only way to know is send Dante into Hell and see what circle they end up in. The profiteers or the traitors.
