@MercedesS Please let us know that everyone is ok?
Im truly saddened that this is happening and my heart goes out to all those people.
I was in Barcelona last year with my Mum at this time and stood where it's happened. I can't imagine what would have happened.
Barcelona is an amazing place as is London, Brussels and all the other places where this is happening at.
No matter what, we need to stand together and hope for a brighter and safer future not just for us, but for the younger generation.
Its so upsetting that this is happening and any one would want to hurt innocent people / Families.
I want to share my candle that I recently lit in a cathedral in Luxembourg. No matter what religion or who you are. My heart goes out to you

True sentiments very well written @darrengf and I'm sure everyone here totally agrees.
My son was in Barcelona 10 days ago and was also in the same place. He and friends were on a Stag weekend. The wedding is this Saturday and I'm sure they will all be thinking what might have been.
I'm so relieved though obviously I feel for all those people and their families. It just makes me wonder if God exists how could he let this happen? My faith has been badly shaken by all these terrorist atrocities.

SECOND ATTACK in Spain
Spanish police say they have killed five suspected terrorists in the town of Cambrils to stop a vehicle attack, after an earlier one in Barcelona.
The men, wearing explosive belts, were linked to the first attack, police say.

Dispicable animals. The now preferred method it would seem, hire a vehicle and fake explosive vests to try and terrorise the crap out if everyone, then pick a crowded tourist area in a large city. No worries about getting weapons or guns across the borders either. B*stards!
