The suspected driver in the Barcelona terror attack has been shot dead by police.

Younes Abouyaaqoub was cornered in the town of Subirats, 30 miles west of Barcelona.

He was wearing what looked like an explosives belt.

Thirteen people died in the Barcelona attack, including seven-year-old British boy Julian Cadman.

Abouyaaqou, 22, is believed to have hijacked another car to flee the scene, killing the driver.

This brings the death toll from the Barcelona attack and a second attack on Friday in the Spanish coastal town of Cambrils to 15.

Joaquim Forn, head of home affairs in Catalonia's regional government, said "everything indicates" Abouyaaqoub was behind the wheel in the Barcelona attack.

He had been the only at-large member of the 12-strong terror cell behind the attacks in Barcelona on Thursday and in the seaside town of Cambrils early on Friday.

Police revealed Abouyaaqoub walked around Barcelona for about 90 minutes after the van attack before hijacking a Ford Focus, stabbing its owner, Pau Perez, and driving away with his body still inside.

He rammed the car through a police checkpoint on Friday night then dumped the vehicle two miles away.

But he fled by the time police found it with Mr Perez's body in.

Four other suspects have been arrested and at least two extremists died on Wednesday in an explosion at a house in Alcanar, where explosives were being prepared.

Police believe the explosion in Alcanar prevented the terror cell from carrying out what would have been a far deadlier attack.
