Catalonia: two suspects jailed, third released - The investigation continues

On Monday night, the police announced that "the twelve main objectives [were] detained or dead," after the Spanish security forces shot Younes Abuyaaqoub. The 22-year-old Moroccan, who grew up in Spain, is held responsible for the deaths of 14 of the 15 victims of the attacks. He would be the driver of the pickup truck that has mowed 13 people. "That does not mean we're done. We are still working, "the police said on Twitter, while its leader referred to the search of cell connections in Spain and elsewhere. Indeed, the police are currently investigating the possible international ramifications of the cell, of which several members have traveled abroad. Imam Abdelbaki Es Satty, who died in the Alcanar house explosion, stayed in Belgium between January and March 2016. At least one suspect, whose name was not revealed, went to Zurich last December, according to the Swiss Federal Police, who found traces of his visit to a hotel in the city at the request of his Spanish counterpart.
As for the Audi used during the attack on Cambrils in the night from Thursday to Friday, it was flashed in the Paris region, less than a week before the attacks. Minister Gérard Collomb confirmed this information on BFM-TV on Tuesday morning, adding: "We knew (...) that they had actually come to the Paris region, and we passed this information on to Spain. It is perhaps too early in the inquiry to explain the reasons for this "extremely fast return to and from Paris". According to information from BFM-TV, two members of this team made purchases in Paris on the weekend of 12 and 13 August. Many questions remain unanswered.
