Five jihadis in suicide belts have been shot dead by police after they launched a second terrorist attack in a beach resort near Barcelona - eight hours after a 'linked' ISIS van attack killed 13 and injured at least 100 on the city's busiest street.

Seven people including a policeman were injured in Cambrils, 70 miles south-west of the Catalan capital on the Costa Brava, where the Jihadis’ Audi A3 car overturned after ploughing through crowds on the seafront.

The killers, wearing explosive belts, bailed out and attacked people with knives and were seen smiling and shouting taunts at police who then shot them dead at around 1am local time.

Horrifying footage shows bodies wearing suicide belts strewn around the seafront as tourists ran for their lives and hid on the beach as gunshots rang out around them.

Eight hours earlier ISIS jihadis brought terror to another of Europe's major cities when a terrorist drove a van at 60mph through crowds of people on Barcelona’s famous Las Ramblas promenade - Spain's busiest street - which was ‘jam-packed’ with holidaymakers and locals send flying like pins.

Police are today hunting for suspect Moroccan-born Moussa Oukabir, 18, who is believed to have been the driver in the Las Ramblas attack. His brother Driss' ID was used to rent the van but he has since been arrested and denied any involvement. The van driver fled on foot and it was unclear if Moussa went on to be involved in the Cambrils attack.

More than 100 men, women and children were mowed down and their broken bodies lay in pools of blood on the famous street. 

Prams and toys lay among the carnage alongside tourists’ ‘selfie sticks’, discarded in the chaos as families fled the terror attack.

Shops, bars and restaurants packed with tourists and locals were abandoned with drinks, half-eaten meals and ice creams abandoned on the tables.  Police believe the terror cell lived in the resort town of Alcanar, 120 miles south of Barcelona, where a house-cum-bomb factory packed with gas canisters was destroyed in an explosion on the day before the first attack.

In the aftermath of the Barcelona attack, two men were arrested and a third shot dead as he rammed officers at a roadblock set up to snare the terrorists, but officials said that incident appeared unrelated to the terror attack.
