Three coordinated terror attacks take place in Spain leaving fourteen dead and one hundred injured around this past Thursday, August 17th. The first attack being a van plowing through a pedestrian sidewalk in Barcelona at five pm Thursday. In Cambrils, at three am local time, five men drove a van through a road block and onto a walkway along the beach. In Alcanar, a house, believed to be a jihadist structure for making bombs, exploded. Analytics believes ISIS is responsible for the attacks due to a precedent of coordinating deadly vehicle attacks on civilians.
