Police: Spain suspects all dead or under arrest

The police chief for Spain's Catalonia region says the extremist cell suspected of carrying out last week's fatal van attacks has been broken now that the 12 members authorities had identified are all accounted for.

 

Regional police chief Josep Luis Trapero made the assessment after two of his officers shot and killed the one suspect who was thought to still be at large on Monday.

 

Trapero says four of the men responsible for the attacks that left 15 dead are under arrest.

 

He says another eight are dead themselves: five who were shot dead by police in the resort town of Cambrils and two others who were killed when a house exploded the night before the Barcelona attack.

 

Trapero says an imam was one of the suspects who died in the explosion.
