Spain royals attend special Mass for victims of van attacks

MADRID, Aug 20 2017: A Mass was held Sunday in Barcelona to mourn 13 people, who had been killed by a van at Las Ramblas in Barcelona, according to the BBC.

In addition to the 13 killed on Thursday afternoon at Las Ramblas, a woman died in a second vehicle attack early on Friday in the town of Cambrils.

On Sunday, King Felipe and Queen Letizia attended Barcelona's Sagrada Familia to mourn those killed in the attacks.

Thursday's attack in the Catalan capital saw a van driven at high speed along Las Ramblas where it hit dozens of people walking along the pedestrianized avenue popular with tourists and residents.

Hours later, early on Friday, there was a second van attack in Cambrils, west of Barcelona. A woman was killed and police shot dead five suspects.
