(AFP) Three men went on trial Tuesday for helping the jihadists behind the 2017 attacks in Barcelona and a nearby town that killed 16 people and left 140 wounded.
The Islamic State group took responsibility for the August 17-18 bloodshed, including a van ramming passers-by, all part of a string of jihadist attacks across Europe.
Although the six perpetrators were shot dead by police, many questions remain with victims and prosecutors hoping Spain’s National Court trial will shed light on how the violence unfolded.
Some 235 witnesses will be called during the trial at a court near Madrid which will run until December 16.
