Havana, August 18 (RHC)-- Cuban President Raul Castro sent a message of condolences to King Philip and to the families of the victims of the terrorist attack in the Spanish city of Barcelona on Thursday.
 
The attack caused 13 dead and dozens of injured, among them several Cuban citizens.

The Cuban embassy in Spain and its Consulate in Barcelona are in contact with the families of the four Cubans injured in the terrorist action.  A fifth Cuban who had been slightly injured in second attack in Spain at the coastal resort of Cambrils, has been discharged from a local hospital.

The attack in Cambrils, where six bystanders and a policeman were also wounded, ended a day of bloody violence along the Catalan coast, which Spanish police have said was the work of a terrorist cell seeking to “kill as many people as possible.”

Fourteen people have been confirmed killed in the two attacks in Spain on Thursday.  Thirteen died when a van was driven in to crowds on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, and one person was killed by a car in Cambrils. 

Police killed four of the alleged terrorists in Cambrils and injured one.  The perpetrator of the Barcelona attack remains at large.
