Bomb found in terror lair

Police in northeastern Spain said Wednesday they found a belt charged with real explosives in a house where a fatal blast last week derailed the initial plans by an extremist cell to strike with bombs in Barcelona.

The terrorists ultimately used vehicle attacks to kill 14 people in the Las Ramblas area on Aug. 17. A 15th victim was killed when one of the attackers escaped.

Another attack in the town of Cambrils left one woman dead. ISIS claimed responsibility for both incidents.

Six of the attackers shot dead by police — five on Friday and one Monday — were wearing fake suicide belts.

Chief investigating magistrate Fernando Andreu provisionally jailed two of the four surviving alleged cell members on Tuesday after hearing testimony in the National Court in Madrid that the group had been preparing the massive bombs for an imam who planned to blow himself up at a Barcelona monument.

Imam Abdelbaki Es Satty and another cell member were killed in the explosion in Alcanar, 125 miles south of Barcelona, last Wednesday.

It wasn’t clear if the belt found amid remains of the blast was meant to be used by Es Satty.

Mohamed Houli Chemlal, 21, and Driss Oukabir, 28, identified Es Satty as the ideological leader of the cell, according to a Spanish judicial official.

Police had already found at the house more than 100 tanks of butane gas, nails to be used as shrapnel and 500 liters of highly flammable acetone.
