Destroying the famous Sagrada Familia, Antonio Gaudì's masterpiece, to kill hundreds of visitors: this was the initial plan of the terrorists who struck and bloodied Barcelona. This was revealed by Confidencial, citing sources of the investigation.
The idea was to hit a symbol not only of Barcelona and Spain but of the whole world to enhance the power of ISIS.
The crazy project involved an attack with three vans loaded with Tatp explosives and gas cylinders but luckily it didn't work.
