Thanx Gel.  I found out about hour later.  Thing is they were going to go there today and changed their minds, as it was hot. So they stayed by the pool. So glad.

Yes the scenes are terrible and its going to happen more and more sadly.

Why?  Just because you don't like me?  These are just facts.  What is a banana republic if Spain isn't one?

Good thing they shot those other suicide bombers. I dread to think what the death toll  would have been, if they had not been stopped. Its shocking how many were killed and injured from the other attack.
Edit: I see the vests were fake, which is no matter as their intent was still to kill and I congratulate the Police for taking them out.

I think there was a clear intent to hit the tourist industry here to hit Spain economically with its tourism. The best way to stick two fingers up at the Islamist's, is that people flock there for their holidays, to show they will not be intimidated.
