Investigators: Behind the terrorist attack in Barcelona and the assassination attempt in Cambrils, stood a terror cell, which might have actually had Barcelona's famous basilica "Sagrada Familia" in its sights.
Bacelona (kath.net) Behind the terrorist attack in Barcelona and the assassination attempt in Cambrils stood a terror cell, which might have actually the famous church "Sagrada Familia" in its sights. This was reported by N-TV and other media. According to Spanish media reports, the investigators found images of the Gaudí cathedral when they had analyzed the computer data of the suspects.

The investigators further suspect that the terrorists originally planned a major attack with hundreds of dead, but could not realize it by an accident.
N-TV also reported that, according to the investigators, the Moroccan Imam Abdelbaki Es Satty, who lives in Spain, could be responsible for the radicalization of the group. The young men, who became perpetrators, were between 17 and 18 years old and have apparently radicalized themselves only in contact with the Imam. Earlier, they apparently did not have any links with Islamic terrorism.
It was begun in the last century by Antoni Gaudí and consecrated in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI.On Sunday the funeral service for the victims of the terrorist attack took place. The church is visited annually by about two million tourists and is considered one of Barcelona's great landmarks.

Pope Benedict XVII consecrated the church "Sagrada Familia" and the altar in 2010
From analyzing the explosion debris at Alcanar, investigators found 100 gas canisters. They had a major target planned. Now with images found of the cathedral, it would appear that this was indeed the target. You can bet that it would have been during a service with hundreds in attendance. -----This posting sadly makes a lot of sense. You can bet that this is not the only cell and that this is not the only cathedral. Spain is filled with cathedrals of monstrous size which I saw with the U.S. Navy. They are all targets and this hearkens back to the Reconquista and events which set in motion the explorations of Christopher Columbus.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be Pope Benedict xvi who consecrated the Sagrada Familia.
ReplyDeleteThe terrorists of Barcelona were Muslims. Is anyone surprised? Duh. Another body blow to Pope Francis thesis that the Muslims/immigrants/refugees are wonderful people, our brothers and sisters whom we must welcome with open arms. We must throw our money, our love, and our support to these people, and encourage them to immigrate to Spain,Francie,Germany,Italy,Poland and the USA where in thanksgiving for the kindness done them by us, they may kill, bomb, run over with cars, shoot and stab to death all of who have shown them kindness, all in the name of Allah the merciful, the benevolent, and his prophet Mohammed...peace be upon him. LOL. Wrong again Francis!

The world will never bow to terrorism. I wish the Harry Potter's magic wand was real so that I can wipe them all out!

ReplyDeleteIn reading over this last line of my post, I wanted to explain that I wasn't being respectful and solicitous to Islam....I was just being sarcastic :)
