Today, Spanish police in the Spanish region of Catalunya shot and killed a man they believe is the driver of the Barcelona terror van, Younes Abouyaaqoub. He was reportedly identified by a citizen who alerted the police and was shot when he displayed what appeared to be a suicide belt while shouting, 'Allahu Akbar".
