Spanish police find bomb belt in attacks workshop
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice in northeastern Spain say they have found a belt with real explosives at the house where the terror cell accused of killing 15 people in attacks on Barcelona and another town last week had been preparing a bigger attack.
Six of the attackers shot dead by police were wearing fake suicide belts.
A police spokesman says the belt with viable explosives was found at a house in Alcanar, south of Barcelona, where two other cell members died in an explosion last Wednesday prior to the attacks.
Police had already found over 100 tanks of butane gas and materials to make TATP, an explosive used by Islamic State militants, at the house.
