Where is Cambrils, how far is it from Barcelona and what happened during the terror attacks in Spain?
FIVE terrorists wearing suicide belts were killed on Friday, August 18 after carrying out a terror attack in Cambrils, Spain, hours after 13 people were mowed down in Barcelona's famous main street.
Here we look at what happened in the Spanish resort town of Cambrils - which is popular with Brit holidaymakers.
Where is Cambrils and how far is it from Barcelona?
The resort town is in the province of Tarragona in Catalonia, Spain, around 70 miles south of Barcelona.
Since the 1960s, the town has had a successful tourist industry.
It is in a coastal area known as the Costa Dorada, which translates as the Golden Coast, thanks to its lush beaches.
The town was first established in Roman times and in December 1640 was the scene of a three-day siege between Catalan forces and the army of King Philip IV of Spain, which is commemorated each year to this day.
What happened during the Cambrils terror attack?
Five jihadists wearing what appeared to be suicide belts caused devastation in the Spanish resort town in the early hours.
The terrorists rammed an Audi A3 into crowds before flipping the vehicle and injuring seven innocent people.
Four of the attackers were killed instantly, while the fifth later died from his injuries.
Two of the injured victims are said to be in a "serious condition", while another victim was a police officer who is not believed to be seriously hurt.
Dramatic footage showed the moment one "smirking" terrorist was shot dead by police officers.
Brit tourist Fitzroy Davis, who was enjoying a night out with friends, witnessed one jihadi running towards him before being shot.
He described how four officers jumped out of a car and shot dead a terrorist at the edge of the beach.
"It was like watching a horror film, particularly when he jumped back up after being shot and started laughing at the police," said Mr Davis.
"I can't get that out of my mind.
"Then they fired again and he fell down. This time he stayed down.
"He must have been on something after taking that many shots.
"He was behaving strangely like he was on drugs. Ranting and raving as he went up and down the street."
Joan Marc Serra Salinas, a 21-year-old waiter, said he heard gunshots "and shouting".
He added: "I jumped onto the beach and didn't move."
Bystanders reportedly jumped on the beach when the gunshots rang out, while harrowing footage showed people wearing suicide belts strewn around the seafront.
The terrorist's suicide belts were later detonated but have since found to be fakes in chilling echoes of the London Bridge terror attackers.
The Cambrils bloodbath happened hours after a terrorist mowed through a crowd of tourists on Barcelona's famous Las Ramblas, killing at least 13 people.
A manhunt has been launched to track down the van driver responsible for the attack on Las Ramblas, which was claimed by ISIS.
Up to 100 people were injured when the sick driver zigzagged through the heart of the city centre, ploughing into pedestrians.
Police have arrested two suspects - a Spanish national and a Moroccan - but neither were steering the vehicle involved in the massacre.
A third person was arrested this morning in Ripoli.
Police are linking both the Cambrils and Barcelona attacks, and an explosion at a house which killed one person and injured 16 people in Alcanar, around 120 miles south of Barcelona.
When have terrorist used vehicles as weapons?
The use of vehicles to kill innocent people by fanatics has become a depressingly increasing trend:
- LONDON: Khalid Masood mowed down bystanders on Westminster Bridge with a car, before being shot dead outside the Houses of Parliament when he attacked cops with a knife. The 52-year-old killed five people and injured 50 in his sickening rampage on March 22 2017.
- LONDON: Three terrorists wearing stab-proof vests drove a van into pedestrians at 50mph on London Bridge before attacking revellers with hunting knives- killing seven people and injuring nearly 50. The suspects were captured stalking people through Borough Market before they were shot dead by cops on June 3 2017.
- NICE: The attack in Nice, France, during the Bastille Day celebrations on July 14 2016 was one of the worst terrorist atrocities on European soil. Brainwashed gunman Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel in a 19-tonne truck mowed through crowds watching the fireworks, killing 86 people. He was shot dead by officers in the truck.
- STOCKHOLM: Five people were killed and 14 others seriously injured on April 7 2017 when a terrorist drove into crowds in Sweden's capital Stockholm. Suspect Rakhmat Akilov, 39, was arrested by Swedish police in the wake of the attack.
- BERLIN: A terrorist driving a lorry ploughed through shoppers at a Christmas market in Berlin on December 22 2016 killing at least 12 people and injuring over 50. The rampage was the first full-scale jihadi attack in Germany at the time. Suspect Anis Amri, a 23-year-old Tunisian asylum seeker, was shot dead the following day by police in Milan, Italy.
