 On Thursday, a van veered onto a promenade and barreled down the busy walkway in central Barcelona, swerving back and forth as it mowed pedestrians down and turned a picturesque tourist destination into a bloody killing zone.


Aa many as 13 people were killed and 100 were injured, 15 of them seriously, in what authorities called a terror attack.


The late afternoon attack in the city’s Las Ramblas district left victims sprawled in the historic street, spattered with blood or writhing in pain from broken limbs, reported Associated Press.
