At least 13 people have been killed and dozens injured in Barcelona after a van ploughed into pedestrians in a busy tourist street.

More than two hours after the atrocity a suspect was shot dead after driving through a roadblock in a Ford Focus and opening fire, injuring two police officers.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, describing the killers as 'soldiers of the Islamic state'. Terror police have arrested two more suspects.

Neither of those arrested was the driver of the van, officers have confirmed.

Police officials this evening stated that the attack is being linked to an explosion which killed one person yesterday.

In the aftermath of the attack police circulated the image of Driss Oukabir, a 28-year-old Catalan resident of Moroccan origin, saying he had rented out a second van thought to be intended as a getaway vehicle - where his documents were found. A man was arrested at the scene.

But police sources said Oukabir later handed himself in at a police station in Ripoll, 65 miles north of Barcelona, claiming his brother had stolen his documents.

His brother is named Moussa Oukabir, 18, who lives in Barcelona, El Pais reports.

Horrifying pictures and video from the scene of the Las Ramblas attack show armed police and paramedics rushing around the busy promenade in the centre of the city, as victims lie hurt in the street.

Video has emerged seeming to show a police officer lying on the ground injured in Sant Just Desvern, on the outskirts of Barcelona, after the Ford Focus drove through a roadblock.
