The terror cell behind Spain’s deadly twin attacks has been “dismantled”, Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said on Saturday, although local authorities took a more cautious tone.
“The cell has been completely dismantled,” he told reporters, speaking of the group that is believed to have consisted of at least 12 young men, many of them Moroccan, some teenagers. But Joaquim Forn, in charge of interior matters in the northeastern region of Catalonia where the attacks took place, downplayed Zoido’s comments. Police are still hunting for 22-year-old without confirming reports he was the driver.
