The Wire

Fourteen people were killed in two terrorist attacks in Spain on Thursday and Friday. In Barcelona a van drove into the crowd late Thursday afternoon on the Ramblas, the most tourist artery of the Catalan metropolis. A woman succumbed to her wounds in Cambrils, where the second attack occurred a few hours later.

The threat is also high above Australia, and on Sunday, August 20th, the Turnbull government released a new national strategic plan to tackle the growing use of vehicles as weapons by terrorists.
