Start with the breaking news in spain. Two deadly interest are attacks or now being investigated and we just learned one of the victims is an american. The latest attack happened overnight in the sea side lee resort town. Five men hit pedestrians with a car before they were killed in a shootout with police. Investigators belief those suspects are somehow linked to the horror on the streets of barcelona hours earlier. In that attack, a van mowed down people alongside the popular las rom plas promenade.

The area cordoned off. Spanish police now investigating what increasingly looks like a Terror Network whose intent was an attack or attacks perhaps far worse than the blood shed of the past 24 hours. Witnesses many of them tourists described hiding. One told me he lay on the ground for three hours. Another said 60 or 70 locals went into a restaurant there some clam orring through the window. Keir simmons for us. Thanks. While police are piecing all of this together there was a moment of silence held in barcelona this morning. Richard engel now with the latest on where this investigation is heading. Good morning. Reporter well, this is an investigation and a man hunt. The search is underway for the driver of the van who came down this avenue mowing down so many people, killing and injuring the state department has confirmed that one american was killed. That one other american was lightly injured. But time and time again weve seen with these attacks extremists will go to iconic symbols. Actually the essence of european and even western culture, caves in paris, street life in spain. A man hunt is under way this morning for the driver responsible for mowing down people on barcelonas main pedestrian street. The terrorist driving a rent the white van turned this normally vibrant area into a kill zone. American jack davies filmed as she ran for her life. American tourist and her husband were there too. They had just separated when he went looking for a bathroom. Now, hes missing. The cops just kept pushing us, you know, away. I just ended up further and further away without my husband. I havent seen him or heard from him since. Reporter the van came speeding down this street and about as crowded as now. At the van traveled for about 600 yards, it wasnt just driving but zigzagging back and forth chasing down victims but people still came back today to show they wont be terrorized. I ran into that bakery where they let me in, and there were a couple of us, about 20 in that bakery, hiding. The attack is just the latest case of terrorist turning ordinary vehicles into deadly weapons. Hundreds killed in the last two years alone in beloved cities all over europe including berlin, london and paris. Spanish dignitaries this morning leading a moment of silence. The heart heart of barcelona, center of the citys famed street life. The mood now a mix of shock, sadness and anger on this day of mourning. Overnight, paris and new york, cities all too familiar with terror, showing their solidarity. Isis claimed responsibility saying one of his soldiers carried out the attack. It offered no evidence it did. But this city is not being depered. People here are showing incredible resolved. Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people coming out today to put down flowers to pay the respects and here, the crowds are stretching even today as far as the eye can see. Richard engel in barcelona. Thank you. We want to bring in our analyst. Michael good morning to you. Were so used to seeing these lone wolf attacks. This seems to be the thing we all fear, a larger terrorist cell. I think thats exactly right. This is not going to be one guy grabbing a van, a group, probably six to ten people. Thought out things how they might delay First Responders using fake suicide vests, maybe not having all the sophistication to create bombs although that i may have been part of this but what we see is a Group Planning and probably simultaneous attacks planned. Heres what is so nerve wracking. New york times reported there were three vehicles rented under the same name. One used in h the van attack in barcelona, perhaps the second vehicle down in the other area. The but we dont know where a third van is. How frantic is the search 0 for that vehicle and any other operatives at this moment . This is a little nor dynamic than we normally see 12 hours after an attack. Certainly one attacker on the loose. Probably have a vehicle out there. I think the spanish looking at this theyre still an active threat. This is not just forensics. The this is prepare for another attack. Absolutely because the driver appears to have gotten away. We dont know if he or she might have been among those later but were you surprised the driver was able to walk away . I want to be careful about being critical but im little surprised. Clearly theres a lot of mayhem at that attack. The lack of apparent security that he was able to get away. This is a very popular tourist area. Thats right. Suggested a little more confusion than i would have expected. I have tremendous authorities. Theyve had experience back in 2004 about the trade bombings in madrid. They just arrested suspects this spring they think were connected to the brussels attacks. You worked with those eofficials during the obama administration. They have dealt with terrorism. Madrid in 2004 really did wake them up. They have been very aggressive, lots of northern africans which have had some radicalization but also much less this spain than weed ese weve seen in belgium, france and germany. Really quickly just speculation but we now know that this wednesday night explosion that happened at a house is somehow connected. So, put on your analyst hat. What might the connection about . My first take theyre building bombs, thats disrupted, somehow, quickly get out, force the attack. Thank you. President trump was quick to respond to the attack in barcelona offering the u. S. s support but hes coming under fire for a controversial followup tweet and for his ongoing reaction to those violent a clashes in virginia. Kristin kel ker has more on that side. Reporter matt, good morning. President trump unleashing more controversial tweets this morning including this one. Radical islamic terrorism must be stopped. The court must give us back our protective rights. Have to be tough. This morning, the president turning his attention to Foreign Policy, while monitoring the investigation in barcelona. Firing off a stern tweet in the aftermath of the attack. The United States condemns the attack and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough and strong. We love you. But the president may have quickly muddled his own message. Resurrecting a widely debunked antimuslim story about an American General who fought in the philippines a ventry ago. There was no more radical islamic terror for 35 years. During the campaign, candidate trump was criticized by historians who called the story a tall tale. He caught 50 terrorists and he took the 50 terrorists and he took 50 men and he dipped 50 bullets in bigs blood. Overnight, mounting backlash from fellow republicans after his response to the clashes in charlottesville where he was criticized for equating White Supremacists to counter protesters. I think theres blame on both sides and i have no doubt about it and you dont either. Reporter republican senator bob corker, calling into question mr. Trumps ability to lead. The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. And we need for him to be successful. Reporter scathing words as well from the only africanamerican senator. What we want to see from our president a clarity and moral authority. That moral authority is compriced when tuesday happens rfrt this morning yet another ceo turning his back. The New York Times reporting rupert murdocks son, excoriating the president and donating 1 million to the antidefamation league. Murdock reportedly writing standing up to nazis is essential. Adding to the president s increasing isolation, the leaders of all five branches of the military also rebuking him, although not mentioning him by name. Vice president mike pence staunchly defending his because. President trump donald trump, i think the United States once again has a president whose vision, energy and cando spirit is reminiscent of presented teddy roosevelt. Reporter the mother of Heather Heyer say es she wont speak to the president. Thanks so much. In the wake of the charlottesville attack a movement is gaining ground in cities to take counsel statues.
