Family ties among Spanish terror cell echo past attacks
Four sets of brothers have been linked to the Spain attacks, and brothers were involved in Paris, Boston and 9/11
As is so often the case in terrorist cells, the group that brought carnage to north-east Spain last week – killing 15 people and injuring more than 130 – included several sets of brothers.
Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, has been identified by police as the driver of the van that sped down Las, a town 30 miles west of Barcelona, on Monday. His brother Housainne, 19, was among the five men hours later after the car in which they were travelling ploughed into a group of pedestrians.
