    A van has ploughed into the crowd in Las Ramblas, Barcelona. Earliest reports say several are injured.

    Why not wait until it's confirmed exactly what has happened and by whom before knocking an entire religion?

    It was the van that brought Coutinho in from Liverpool, told to ignore all red lights, Scousers, bulls and matadors.

    Was on that street a month ago. Potential do mass damage. I pray the driver was dragged out of the van and beaten to death.

    From Sky News
    El Pais newspaper, citing a police source, has said the driver of the van fled the scene after the crash

    People have been ordered by police into a church and locked in, because they hadn't been saying their prayers, you know.

    Police report that the driver has fled on foot. Sure wouldn't we all do the same if our licence was out of date or we had a bald tyre?

    P.S. Two people killed.

    According to the media the driver fled on foot which makes it look less likely to have been an accident.

    Has been a lot of anti tourist sentiment in Barcelona recently but unlikely this would be related to it.

    Seems it is being described now as a Cultural diversity incident, reports that 2 men may have entered a restaurant, nothing known further about that.

    There have been a lot of incidents and attempts over the last 2 weeks, not that one would hear about it much, seems like there may be an escalation starting.

    If this is yet another deliberate case of ramming a vehicle into a crowd of unsuspecting/innocent pedestrians, it is worrying.

    I'm not talking about religion here, at all, just the means which humans employ to inflict damage on others in situations like this.

    At least with guns and bombs, they are an obvious, stand-out danger. Those who use them illegally have to go to great lengths to be secretive. The public know that if they see anyone else in the streets handling firearms who aren't a member of the police/army, then they're likely in danger.

    What's the thinking for keeping an eye out for this sort of thing though? You basically can't. We the public can't, and I imagine it's not going to be much easier for the authorities to either.

    Just hearing on Newstalk as I type this that there are now two confirmed dead. Also...this has been confirmed as a terrorist attack and there are reportedly two men with guns on the loose, possibly holed up in a restaurant now...I hope this situation is resolved asap with with no more casualties.

    My reason for writing this in the first place still applies - This new method of using vehicles as weapons of mass destruction is frightfully hard to plan against.

    The restaurant is a Kosher one, so the police need to get in to it as quickly as possible as the people there are not going to get out alive otherwise.
