A Moroccan imam believed to have radicalised youths who committed Spain's terror attacks was confirmed dead in an accidental explosion at the suspects' bomb factory, police said.
Asked whether Abdelbaki Es Satty had died in the blast on Wednesday that precipitated the attacks, Catalan police chief Josep Lluis Trapero said today: "It is confirmed," adding "the remains of the imam were there", in the house in Alcanar that exploded.
