Spanish police said today that they have identified the driver of the van that mowed down pedestrians on the busy Las Ramblas boulevard in Barcelona, killing 13.
Police in Catalonia announced the identification on Twitter, without giving his name.
But Catalonia's regional interior minister Joaquim Forn told local radio that "everything suggests the van driver is Younes Abouyaaqoub".
The 22-year-old Moroccan remains at large, and police said Sunday that they did not know if he was still in Spain.
"We don't know where he is," regional police chief Josep Lluis Trapero said Sunday.
