Death Toll Rises: Spanish Official Says 13 Confirmed Killed in Barcelona Attack

In addition, at least 100 injuries have been reported. Catalan police have labeled the incident a terror attack. 

The president of the Catalan region confirmed Thursday evening that two suspects had been taken into custody following the attack Thursday afternoon in which a van rammed into a crowd of people in Barcelona's city square.

It was reported after the incident that two men suspected of involvement in the incident had barricaded themselves in a bar and taken hostages. Catalan police have denied that any such hostage situation was ongoing. 

Spanish police have released a photograph of Driss Oukabir, a Moroccan-born man who is alleged to have rented the van used in the attack.

​This death toll makes it the deadliest terror attack in Spain since the 2004 Madrid train bombing that killed 192 and injured over 2,000 people.
