Two armed men reportedly entered a restaurant after the van crash occurred, incident in progress.
BARCELONA - A van plowed into crowds in the heart of Barcelona on Thursday and Spanish media reported at least 13 people were killed, in what police said they were treating as a terrorist attack.
The death toll was reported by Cadena Ser radio, citing police sources. Police said some people were dead and injured but did not confirm the number of casualties. They said were searching for the driver of the van.
Spanish newspaper El Periodico said two armed men were holed up in a bar in Barcelona's city center, and reported gunfire in the area, although it did not cite the source of the information.
It was not immediately clear whether the incidents were connected.
The incident occurred in vicinity of the Maccabi kosher and Habibi halal restaurants. They are located across from the city's medieval Jewish quarter.
Chief Rabbi of Barcelona Meir Bar-Hen told Channel 2 that all community events will be cancelled and the he is headed to the scene of the incident to offer his services.
Bar-Hen said that it did not appear that Jews were targeted.
A Chabad representative told The Jerusalem Post that the institute is located close to the scene of the attack and that members of Chabad staff were trying to reach the area to see if they were any Jewish casualties but that the police would not let them enter the area. "If there are Jews there we will try to find them and help them however we can," he said. "We are waiting for the incident to be over."
He confirmed that all Jewish institutes had closed until they received further notice.
What are the f*cking bastards in the media going to do with this one? eh? not White nationalists doing it. Not neo nazis. MUZZIES! Filthy bearded savages! Are they going to condemn Trump for this too?
Amish running amok again.
Any way they can. Wolf Blitzed has already said they are copycatting the Charlottesville incident................
It wasn’t just outside the kosher restaurant; the van ran almost the entire length of the pedestrian mall of the Rambla de Cataluña, from the Plaza to La Boqueria.
Wolfie is clearly irritated that he has to report on this and had to breakaway from the constant Trump bashing.
The media is pure scum.
Remember, the driver had no connection to Islam or Muslims!
So someone kills 13 people outside a kosher restaurant and we are not supposed to think of anything about the group. But Tiki torches and anti Jewish rhetoric means all right wing in American are hate groups. It seems if you are Muslim or BLM its more ok to be a terrorist.
Reports coming out that there’s been an arrest, possibly Oukabir.
Yes, this is the new reality according to London’s mayor, so get used to it.
Meanwhile we must guard against any possible backlash against ROP followers.
A statue of Robert E Lee is more evil/dangerous than radical Islam.
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion.
People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love … For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite..."

Backatcha, Barry.

Mr. niteowl77
CNN/MSNBC and FOX upset that ISIS had the gaul to cut into Trump narrative.
We may never know the reason these men inflicted this mayhem. /s
No Wolf, if this was done by the usual suspects, they are copycatting their many previous vehicle attacks in Europe and elsewhere.
Just heard CBS radio news telling us that ONE person had died in the attack.
No way!
Running over innocent people on a pedestrian mall is terror. Nice France, Barcelona Spain.
Hitting a mob of rioters in the street is not terror.
Are you KIDDING????
