Robot in Spain removes man's possible explosives

Catalan public radio says a bomb disposal robot has removed a possible explosives belt from a suspect who was shot down by police in a town outside Barcelona.

 

Regional police tweeted that they had shot the man Monday afternoon in an operation amid a massive manhunt for the fugitive from the Barcelona van attack.

 

The radio reported the suspect's body was face down in Subirats, a town 45 kilometers (28 miles) west of Barcelona.

 

Earlier, the La Vanguardia newspaper reported that Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, had been captured in the area. Police would not confirm that.
