Spain’s King Felipe met some of the victims of the Barcelona van attack as well as doctors in a hospital in Barcelona on Saturday, two days after a deadly attack which Islamic State claimed responsibility for.
King Felipe also led a minute silence ceremony on Friday (August 18) in Barcelona’s Plaza de Catalunya to remember the victims.
In the past 13 months, militants have used vehicles as weapons to kill nearly 130 people in France, Germany, Britain, Sweden and Spain.
Thirteen people were killed on Thursday afternoon when a van driven by a suspected Islamist militant mounted a pedestrian walkway running down Las Ramblas avenue in central Barcelona, mowing down crowds strolling along the boulevard.
