Spain: Massive explosion at house linked to Barcelona jihad massacre

Aug 17, 2017 6:44 pm By Robert Spencer

“Inside the house, which police believe was occupied for a few months, they found around 20 canisters of butane and propane gas.”

That suggests that more jihad violence was being plotted.

“Massive explosion at Alcanar house on Wednesday night linked to Barcelona terror attack,” by Harriet Alexander, Telegraph, August 17, 2017:

A huge explosion at a house 120 miles south of Barcelona on Wednesday night is now being linked by police to the terrorist attack a day later.

Police in Spain initially dismissed the explosion in Alcanar as a gas explosion.

But on Thursday night, hours after the attack that killed at least 13 people and wounded 100, they revised their initial response.

Josep Lluis Trapero, head of the Mossos police, announced at a press conference that they now believe there is some connection between the occupants of the house and the perpetrators of the Barcelona attack.

At least one person was killed and six injured when the house blew up, causing substantial devastation to nearby buildings. The sound of the explosion was heard several miles away, according to locals.

Inside the house, which police believe was occupied for a few months, they found around 20 canisters of butane and propane gas.

A woman was found dead and a man, discovered among the rubble, was taken to hospital in a critical condition….

    One can only hope that the dead woman and injured man were TERRORISTS. AND IF SO, A SHAME THAT THERE WERE NOT MORE OF THEM IN THE HOUSE.

    If they were innocent people, a shame. But, the open borders lets all sorts of slime in.

    AND HERE IN THE U.S., THE DEMOCRPAPS AND LIBERTURDS STILL OPPOSE THE TRAVEL DELAY (it is NOT A BAN).

      I imagine they were completing their work when one said, “What do you think?”, and the other said, “It’s the bomb!”, and it was.

    I think that the real number of people killed will be massaged. AS I BELIEVE, was done when there was the Friday night massacre in Paris- what a year and half or so ago?

    Initial reports had detailed reports how many killed here, how many there, etc.

    Then updates. And the Deputy Mayor of Paris, who one would think had better sources of information then the clowns writing for AP, etc., said the number will be in the hundreds.

    When they came out with final figures, less than the figures just a few hours after the massacre.

    With all sorts of excuses. My view- they did not want to make Muslims look bad. Islamphobia, you know.

    I think we should say 113 casualties, plus mental casualties of immediate family members and relatives affected by attacks such as this.. We know there are dead and maimed and many with permanent disabling injures. Some will recover completely others never. But this single act produced a horrific number of casualties and it is unacceptable.

    If this explosion was linked, then a much bigger attack was planned and.many lives were probably saved.

    It’s Moorish Spain all over again. The modern Spaniards need to read the history of Muslim depredations in Spain. All churches and most Christians disappeared from southern Spain during the Muslim occupation. Why! Persecution, rape, plundering, murder.

    Spain should reintroduce the study of the history of pre-Renaissance Spain in all schools.

      They are whitewashing that period, representing Moorish Spain as a beacon of tolerance and goodwill between the 3 main religions and giving credit for that to the muslim rulers, in other words islam is presented as a wonderfully tolerant creed, and dismissing periods where the rulers were particularly cruel as aberrations ( like isis is ‘not real islam’ ). By contrast see how they portray Isabella and Ferdinand. This book is worth reading: The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise by Darío Fernández-Morera.

    I have a hard time feeling sorry for a people who elect Liberals as their guardians, who in turn open their countries’ floodgates to individuals who embrace Islamic ideology. Believing Islam is a religion of peace defies reason and common sense. I care not about the occasional Muslim who isn’t an avowed terrorist. Notwithstanding the near insurmountable challenges that accompany vanquishing Islam and its adherents from a country, Islam is a metastatic neurosis, a dangerous progressive supremacist neurosis that inevitably leads to or supports violence against non-Muslims, and eventual conquest. Abortion on demand has left Europe old and decrepit, devoid of will to fight. I say to Europeans, stop whining and take your medicine, because this is the bed you’ve chosen to die on, and die on it you shall. Oh, and don’t worry, Europe, America is right behind you.

    Forget about any talk of “lone wolves” what we are seeing is a Terror Cell attack, as has several of the last attacks been. This one probably was suppose to begin with the vehicle attack followed by a detonation.

    What a hilariously inept group of “people”. Pity there weren’t more of them playing with fire.

    Thankfully, these idiots shrieking about their God, savagely racing to their deaths are remarkably downright incompetent at it.

    Its terribly cold comfort for the loved ones of those who did die and those who were injured and terrorized. But I guess at least we have the ‘comfort’ in knowing that this bunch can’t plan decent attacks.

    Mowing innocent people down, in crowded streets with cars and vans doesn’t take skill. Or planning or even intelligence.

    Luckily for the world, they’re too dipshit incompetently stupid to suss out getting their hands on biohazards or dirty bombs.

    Again, its cold comfort for the victims and they do have, my most genuine, heartfelt sympathies and all of my compassion. they did not deserve this. They deserved better. They were betrayed by the scum their nations tried to help. They were betrayed by their useless government. They should be alive and healthy and happy right now at this very minute.

    I’m just relieved that our enemy is essentially, too dumb to pull off a WMD of some sort. I guess I’m trying to look for a silver lining because I’ll be damned if I can make any sense out of this whole mess.

      So — why in ‘ell are they being imported? literally by the boatload

    Hmmm…connecting some dots here, maybe I’m wrong…did the terrorist team blow up their own bomb factory, and then the survivors decided that they had to carry out the van attack right away, before the police came to round them up? It does seem as if the police knew who to look for.

    Although, not too concerned when devout moslems die by their own had from the miserable stew they were making, by what right do they have to destroy their rented digs? Will an insurance company pay the owner for the rebuild? Fat chance! Insurance doesn’t cover an act of allah, the owners will have to eat it. Perhaps, laws can be passed making insurance companies, lebel (sic), if property is destroyed by moslems. Remember, islam “All evil All the time.” People, if you want to live, and enjoy your life and family, do NOT rent a house, a flat, a car or van etc. or sell airplane tickets to moslems. If not the law, it should be!

      Plus, they put everyone in the area at risk. Not that these barbarians care.

    If this is what Allah wants, I definitely don’t want Allah! Lately I worry that I may live long enough to see Islam rule the world.
