From Charlie Hebdo to Las Ramblas - Europe's history of major terror attacks since 2015

The terror attack that claimed the lives of at least 14 people in Spain on 18 August is the latest on a long list of attacks that have occurred across Europe in recent years.

A van ploughed through the popular Las Ramblas avenue in Barcelona, killing 13 people including a 3-year old and injuring another 100, of whom 15 are believed to be in critical condition.

Police believe at least four people were behind the carnage, which authorities labelled as a terror attack. Three of them – including suspect Driss Oukabir, who reportedly turned himself in – have been arrested so far. The fourth attacker is believed to be Moussa Oukabir.

Oukabir, the brother of Driss, is still on the loose and is considered dangerous as he could be armed

Isis terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack on its news agency Amaq. However, such claims - often occurred in the aftermath of similar attacks – are not reliable and do not necessarily imply the attackers are part of the group.

A few hours after the Las Ramblas incident, police also shot dead four suspects who tried to launch a similar attack in Cambrils, 100km away from Barcelona, crashing their vehicle into pedestrians. One woman has died from that attack. A fifth attacker, who was injured, later died.

As details on the Barcelona attack, including identity of assailants and victims, are yet to emerge, IBTimes UK takes a look at the other major terror attacks that have occurred on European soil in recent years.
