I suppose it's too much to hope there are no other people in the restaurantTwo gunmen holed up in a restaurant nearby according to news.
Police keeps asking to not post in social media the current location of forces trying to locate the missing terrorist yet the media seems to be delivering the opposite message. There's a lot of confusion right now since police said that it's safe to leave but some news report keep insisting that another attack might be happening in a nearby mall.
Holy shit that's a long way....
Fuck sake horrible
I get a flight here in 12 hours time and one of my first places to go would be the ramblas.
Dunno what to do now
Some grim fucking videos out there.
Fucking islamists
Dude.
First it's entirely possible it's Spanish terrorists, there is a history of that
And second. What

ETA is not active anymore. It might not be Islamic terrorists, but let's be realistic, it's very likely to be Islamic terrorists.Dude.

History, there has been a ceasefire for years.
The attackers were reported as being of North African appearance.
I'm not claiming anything. Im just saying it isn't time to start screaming about "islamists" yet.Doesn't make much sense to claim ETA on this one. Catalan separatism doesn't exactly align as an opposite to Basque separatism
Islamists what?
Dude.

TV says Police is negotiating with the terrorists in the restaurant. They have hostages.
While it is "possible" that the perpetrators may be ETA or another Spanish extremist group, the likelihood of that being the case is relatively small. This type of attack simply does not match the profile of past attacks by Spanish groups while it does match the profile of recent attacks by ISIL-inspired Islamists (or American neo-Nazis).
To be fair, there's not much to do except keep watching as events unfold and hope for as few casualties as possible.I'm not claiming anything. Im just saying it isn't time to start screaming about "islamists" yet.
In what appears to be a highly populated area too
Unfortunately, the death count may get even higher. Tragic.
I refuse to watch any videos so just going on the info the BBC has posted about the distance travelled and it being highly populated.
Taking recent events in Europe into account, it's a pretty sensible assumption it is ISIS inspired.This is Spain guys, we don't know if its ISIS or not. There are a number of different groups that could be responsible and have done terrorist attacks before.
My condolences.
I'm afraid we're going to have to alter our cities to try and minimize this sort of attack, I think Israel has dealt with these for years now...

It's good to clarify or else your first post comes off as a broad stroke.
No way its an accident.Hopefully no deaths and that there's no foul play but just an accident.

You are right it doesn't match the profile of prior Spanish terrorist groups but that doesn't mean they can't see how easy and effective the car attacks are and copy it.

ETA is long gone. All Spanish TV stations are saying Islamic terrorists.
