Not only did they not know of the terror cell, but after the plan went awry when the bomb-maker blew himself up, they still couldn't stop the attacks.
I did see a story where out CIA? warned them that something was up in that town.
How many muzzies are employed in the Spanish police and military intelligence branches?
Likely, there are large moozlum terror cells in every country...except Japan.
Was the Barcelona mosque not listed in the phonebook?
Have they found the driver of the van yet? Not looking very good here. With the huge number of ‘migrants’ who’ve settle in Spain you’d think the govt was better organized. They look like Keystone Kops, but 14 deaths makes this anything but funny.
The FBI had warned them two months ago that there was a plot against Barcelona that involved vehicles and had recommended that they put up barriers at the mouth of the Rambla, precisely where the vehicle entered.
Most people here don’t know much about the extremely leftwing government of Barcelona and Catalonia in general, but they have brought in more “immigrants” than anywhere else in Spain and thus have the highest Muslim population in Spain, have one of the biggest new mosques in Europe that overshadows parts of Barcelona, and attack and harass the Catholic Church constantly.
They thought that was going to keep them safe. Surprise!
“Spanish Authorities Had No Clue There Was a Large Terror Cell in Their Midst”
Aaaand what difference would it make?
“Previous terror attacks in France and Belgium were carried out largely by terrorists authorities knew were in the country and had been flagged for surveillance.”
Even the attacks here in the US, the authorities were in the country and had been flagged for surveillance.
This is CYA nonsense.
Europe has been encouraging these people to invade their countries and that they have been doing.
The Muslims want to repeat their glory days when they invaded and conquered all of Spain beginning in the year 711AD.
Is Spain going to do anything to resist? or just keep bringing them? Europe is hell bent on a suicide mission, IMO
Madrid subway, 2003 or so wasn’t a clue to them?
PC is detrimental to your health
I wonder if that’s why a lot of tours to Spain don’t include Barcelona, despite the architecture.
Heads up their culos! Did they think the muzzies were nice peaceful people?
Sure they knew. They just wouldn’t admit it, or do anything about it, for Globalist Political Correctness
They probably weren’t looking.
no intelligence or police or security agency can possibly be perfect
this is why it is so essential that we repatriate, send home the Muslim invaders... NOW....immediately....today....start today....send them home....protect our families....please ask President Trump to REALLY GET the commie mass media’s undies in a knot...and send the Muslim invaders HOME ... now!
Here is where we need to focus our anti-terror efforts.
We need to trace the money back to the source. Then force the country of origin to extradite the donor to the nation affected for prosecution.
If the donor is a Saudi prince we must not take no for an answer. Turn him over of face tanks and bombs.
Big attacks take big money. 9/11 took years and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cut off the money and stop the attacks
That’s nothing. Many years ago, FR had a map of terrorist cells and the feds have done nothing about them. Heck, Mueller did nothing to stop 9/11, the San Bernardino shooters, the Ft. Hood wacko or the Boston Bombers even though he knew ahead of time.

Mixed signals about terrorists seem to be coming out of Spain.
