Background

Bombings

Failed car ramming

A sixth suspect who has not been named attempted to ram a black 2010 Kaiet Tors vehicle into a nearby theatre which was used as a triage centre for wounded victims. The attack failed because the car was stopped by a temporary barrier. The vehicle managed to turn around and was seen driving on Highway A1 to Etxebarrea. The suspect was arrested just after exiting Hegoalde thanks to civil vigilantes.
