Police Identify Suspect Who ‘Rented Van Used In Barcelona Terror Attack’ As Driss Oukabi

A man suspected of hiring a van used in the Barcelona terror attack which left at least 13 people dead has been identified as Driss Oukabir.

The man is alleged to have rented the Fiat van used in the attack in the town of Santa Perpetua de la Mogada.

Oukabir, aged about 28 and of Moroccan origin, resides in the city of Ripoll, north of Barcelona near the French border, and had previously lived in Marseille, France, local media reported.

Just two days ago he posted a Facebook photo of himself sat under a parasol on a beach, apparently in Barcelona.

His Facebook page was flooded with angry or threatening messages from people around the world before it was apparently taken offline.

Horrific video shows the aftermath of the terror attack, with innocent victims strewn across the street.

Motionless bodies are seen lying on the floor of the city’s historic Placa de Catalunya and debris from nearby stalls is scattered across the floor.

In the distressing footage filmed by a witness, several people can be seen lying motionless with blood splattered across the ground.

There is also a young woman in a state of distress being comforted by two others.

Thirteen people are feared dead and dozens more injured are believed to have been injured in the attack.
