We're starting today's show with an explanation of a terrorist 1 attack that took place yesterday in northeastern Spain. The mayor of the Spanish city of Barcelona scheduled a minute of silence to take place Friday morning. All public events were cancelled and train stations were closed there yesterday after a terrorist attack killed at least 13 people and injured more than 100 others.


It started when a van was driven into Las Ramblas yesterday afternoon. This is a very popular tourist spot in Barcelona, filled with pedestrians 2 there to see the sights, shop and stop to eat.


A witness who saw the van speeding through the crowd said there was no doubt it was intentional 3 and police say they've arrested two suspects.


A media branch of the ISIS terrorist group, ISIS standing 4 for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, said the attackers were affiliated 5 with the group. But ISIS itself hadn't formally claimed responsibility as of last night.


This incident is similar to several recent terrorist attacks in Europe. Vehicles have been used to target civilians 6 in Berlin, Germany, London, U.K., and Nice, France. Leaders from Europe and around the world are offering their support to Spain.
