Photos: #Barcelona attack suspect from Morocco identified & arrested

One of the vans used in today's deadly attack in Barcelona was rented by a Moroccan man 15 miles from where the atrocity was committed, Spanish police say.
At least 13 people are dead following this afternoon's attack in one of Barcelona's busiest tourist areas, and more than 30 have been injured
Driss Oukabir rented the van in the town of Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, investigators have revealed.
A suspect has been arrested and is being treated 'as a terrorist', police in Barcelona have confirmed. 
His identity has not been confirmed, but reports in Spain say Oukabir is being questioned. 
His younger brother has also been arrested, reports Naciodigital - although it is standard procedure to bring family members of terror suspects into custody. 
This afternoon's attack claimed at least 13 lives and left more than 30 injured after a van was driven into crowds in the city's busy tourist district.
Oukabir was born in Morocco in 1989, police sources have told OkDiaro in Spain. 
But a Facebook page with Oukabir's name - which has since been deleted - identifies him as being from Marseille and living in Ripoll in Catalonia.
His wall has been flooded with angry messages following the attack. On Tuesday he uploaded a picture of himself relaxing on a beach, although the location is not immediately clear.
Police are understood to have made an arrest following the attack, but the suspect has not yet been identified.
