Barcelona: ‘We escaped the Las Ramblas attack by inches’
‘It was at most 10ft away and coming right at us. The screen was cracked with a bullet hole’
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy says that the van attack in the Catalan city of Barcelona that killed at least 13 people was "jihadist terrorism" which required a global response. Video: Reuters
I woke up early yesterday morning. I normally don’t wake early. We set our alarm for 6:30 to get to the airport, as we were flying home from Spain. On Friday I don’t need an alarm because I have my own internal alarm: it went off sometime before 5pm on Thursday and it’s still ringing. I check my husband and son are beside me: they are safe.
