Portuguese woman among those killed in Barcelona

Portugal's prime minister says a 20-year-old woman from Lisbon is among those killed in the Barcelona attacks.

 

The woman, whose 74-year-old grandmother was also killed in Thursday's attack on Las Ramblas, had initially been considered missing but Prime Minister Antonio Costa confirmed her death in a statement to reporters Saturday.

 

Portuguese media reported that the two were in Barcelona to celebrate the grandmother's birthday. Their names were not released.

 

The two Portuguese women are among 14 people killed in car attacks on Barcelona and the town of Cambrils, as part of what authorities call a terrorist plot claimed by the Islamic State group.
