CONFIRMED: Terrorist suspect wearing ‘explosive belt’ shot dead by police in Barcelona

MOSSOS D’ESQUADRA have shot the suspected Las Ramblas terrorist attacker in Subirats, Younes Abouyaaqoub.

Reports say a resident in the area called police when they saw a man who looked like the fugitive. 

Police have confirmed the man is dead, and a bomb disposal robot was sent to defuse what “appears to be an explosive belt,” which turned out to be a fake.
