14 PEOPLE DEAD AFTER SPAIN ATTACKS

Spanish media say an 18 year-old named Moussa Oubakir is suspected of being the driver of the van which killed 14 people in Barcelona on Thursday.

He's still being sought in a huge manhunt, and is suspected of using his brother's identification to rent the vehicle which was driven into crowds on Las Ramblas.

A woman injured in a later attack in the town of Cambrils has now died.

That attack is being linked to the Barcelona incident.

US condemns Barcelona terror attack

The U.S. is condemning the attack on Barcelona, which has left at least 13 dead and 80 injured, as the Islamic State organization claims repsonsibility for the casualties, via their Amaq news agency.

Spanish police have arrested at least 1 suspect, a Spanish citizen of Moroccan origin.

Shortly after the attack, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted condolences, and then contradicted himself by posting a one-hundred-year-old conspiracy theory.

About to return from a week long trip to Latin America, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence stuck to the script.
