4 suspects in Barcelona attacks testify in court

 

MADRID - Four men arrested last week for their alleged involvement in the planning or execution of attacks in and near Barcelona that killed 15 people testified in Spain's National Court before a judge on Tuesday.

 

Spanish media have named the suspects as Driss Oukabir, Mohammed Aalla, Salh el Karib and Mohamed Houli Chemal.

 

Three of them were arrested on Aug. 17 and 18 in the northern Catalan town of Ripoll. One was arrested in Alcanar, south of Barcelona, where a house that was accidentally blown apart turned out to be a botched bomb-making workshop.

  

Younes Abouyaaqoub, who police said was in the van that killed 14 people in Barcelona's central boulevard on Thursday, was shot dead Monday.
