Spanish court sentences members of jihadist cell behind 2017 Barcelona attacks

A Spanish court on Thursday sentenced three members of a jihadist cell responsible for the 2017 Barcelona attacks that killed 13 people and injured over 100 to jail terms of 53, 46 and eight years.

The charges related to an accidental explosion on the eve of the attack which occurred in Alcanar, southwest of Barcelona, where explosives and gas canisters had been stored, but not to the Barcelona rampage itself.
