A Morrocan with Facebook ramblings about Israel occupying Palestine drives a van down a crowded tourist street killing at least 13.

ISIS takes credit for attack.

But CNBC can't find an apparent motive?

It's like they're actively trying to live up to the fake news label.

They'll have to fight CNN for pretend news recognition.

More like we're aware enough to not blindly support something because it's assoicated with one side

Jesus tap dancing Christ.

Now they're saying the suspect whose picture they released may not be a suspect.

It's possible it's the suspects younger brother that is really the suspect.

If that makes any sense.

Wow. Their cops are almost incompetent enough to be team doctor for the New Orleans Saints.

Edit: LINK for those of you that missed the reference.

They're saying the guy saw his picture on the news and turned himself in to local police.

He said he thinks his younger brother stole his ID and rented the van.

Well, children usually don't care for the adults in the room.

Found out about this while sitting in the passport office for my future trip to Barcelona.

Prayers sent to Spain :(

Now an explosion killing 1 is thought to be related.

Normally one of these events sparks a very large thread.

I'm wondering why it's been tame?

We're used to it would be my guess.

Would that be categorized as a positive or negative?

They're speculating a house full of propane tanks intended to be in the van exploded last night.

2 in custody. Neither are thought to be the driver of van(s).

The Spanish police seem to be about as competent as Italian police.

Pretty wild. So I guess the bomb goes off early on accident so they drive down to Barcelona to make sure they get something done before they are caught. Makes sense.

Sounds like one person blew up in the explosion.
