Spain Attack Death Toll Rises to 15 After Man Found Stabbed in Car

BARCELONA — A Spanish official has said that the death toll from last week’s terrorism attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils has risen to 15. Catalan interior minister Joaquim Forn gave the updated figure in a news conference. He said that the new victim, Pau Perez, 35, was found stabbed in a car that was believed to be used by one of the attackers to flee the scene. The previous death toll was 14 — 13 people were killed in a van attack on Barcelona’s Las Ramblas promenade on Thursday, and one woman killed hours later in Cambrils. Catalan justice minister Carles Mundo said at an earlier press conference that the authorities have now identified all 15 victims – the fatalities were eight males, including two minors, and seven women. Spanish newspaper El Pais has published images of what it says is the driver of the van attack supposedly making a getaway on foot after plowing through scores of people on Barcelona’s iconic Las Ramblas promenade. The three images show a slim man wearing sunglasses seemingly walking through what El Pais says is traditional La Boqueria market just off Las Ramblas. Authorities in Spain confirmed on Monday that Younes Abouyaaqoub is the final member of the Islamic extremist cell at large after the attacks in Barcelona and a nearby town.

  • Asking Eric: Everything works for new couple except the sex
    Denver Post, Sunday - 09/22/2024 - 06:30 AM

    Dear Eric: I met this wonderful lady a year ago on a dating site. We hit it off and have been together ever since. We enjoy the same things. We spend the weekends at each other’s houses. I love her, and she loves me. The issue is intimacy. While I enjoy the closeness, holding hands, hugging, cuddling on the couch, I just don’t enjoy sex with her. I find it difficult to perform, and even when I can it’s not satisfying.
