Police shot dead the man suspected of driving the van that rammed into pedestrians in Barcelona last week, ending a five-day manhunt to track down the perpetrators of the worst terror attack in Spain since 2004.
Younes Abouyaaqoub was shot in the town of Subirats, some 45 kilometers (28 miles) from Barcelona, Catalonia’s police said on its Twitter account. Abouyaaqoub was carrying a fake explosive belt, a spokeswoman for the police said by phone.
