US offers help to Spain in wake of Barcelona attack

WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — The United States on Thursday offered its assistance to Spain in the wake of a deadly van attack in Barcelona’s most popular street Las Ramblas, which left at least two dead.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also said that consular assistance was being provided to Americans in the city, and urged US nationals to check in with their families.

“Terrorists around the world should know — the United States and our allies are resolved to find you and bring you to justice,” Tillerson told a press conference with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and their Japanese counterparts.
