Police in Spain are still hunting the suspected terrorist who killed 13 people by ramming a van into pedestrians on Barcelona’s most iconic avenue before fleeing the scene.

With about 100 more people injured, Catalonia’s regional government said the death toll could rise. Police arrested two people outside the city in connection with the carnage, but the perpetrator wasn’t among them, Catalan officials told a news conference. Police also raised the possibility that an explosion earlier on Thursday that killed one person and brought down a building may be connected to the attack.
