PARIS (AP) – An Italian father who saved his children’s lives but lost his own. An American celebrating his first wedding anniversary. A Portuguese woman celebrating her birthday with her granddaughter. These were but a few of the more than 100 people from around the world killed or injured in Barcelona’s attacks.
They leave behind devastated loved ones in nearly three dozen countries, a testimony to the openness and global attraction of the vibrant seaside city.
World leaders mourned lost compatriots Saturday as families and friends identified bodies, cared for the injured and searched for the missing after suspected Islamic extremists zig-zagged down Barcelona’s crowded Las Ramblas promenade in a van. That attack and a related rampage Friday in the popular Spanish seaside town of Cambrils killed 14 people and injured 126 others.
Here is a look at some of the victims:
