Terrorists were planning to use bombs in an even bigger attack, suspect tells court

The four surviving suspects linked to the terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils are to appear before the National Court in Madrid today, a day after the last terrorist at large — and driver of the van that run over a crowd in La Rambla — was shot dead by Catalan police.

National Court justice Fernando Andreu will interview all the suspects to determine their connection with the jihadist group. He is to decide today whether the four alleged terrorists will be sent to prison or released, if there is not enough evidence against them.
