-- Nowhere is the shock at last Friday s attack in Barcelona greater than in Ripoll a small town of just 11 000 people in the foothills of the Pyrenees a short drive south of the French border. There residents have been coming to terms with the news that not only were many of the terrorists little more than boys four of those shot by police after driving into a group of pedestrians in Cambrils south of Barcelona in the early hours of Friday were teenagers but that many of them had lived among them in Ripoll. Solidarity must extend far beyond the victims of terror Editorial Read more Catalan police believe they have identified all 12 members of the group five were shot dead two more are thought to have accidentally blown themselves up four suspects remain in custody and one is on the run. And what has emerged is that the small town of Ripoll is where the members of the cell became friends played five a side football together and apparently helped each other along the path to radicalisation hatred and mass murder. Already police are making inquiries into a former imam in the town Abdelbaki Es Satty. A man in his 40s with children Es Satty is said to have vanished last week. Some of the town s Muslim population thought he had travelled to Morocco. Police are attempting to establish whether he had actually travelled no further than Alcanar 145 miles south. This is the town where he had lived before moving to Ripoll and also where members of the cell had established a bomb factory in a disused house. From gas blast to carnage in Las Ramblas the attacks that shook Spain Read more While police say they have no firm evidence that Es Satty played any role in last week s attacks they have raided and thoroughly searched his home in Ripoll. Among the material removed were items that might yield DNA police are conducting tests to establish whether he was one of at least two people known to have perished when the bomb factory was ripped apart in a premature detonation early on Thursday morning. Police say more than 100 gas canisters were being stored at the house and also say they have found traces of triacetone triperoxide an explosive used in a number of terrorist attacks in recent years. Attempts were being made by the cell to either construct one large bomb with Spanish media suggesting a likely target was the Sagrada Familia the unfinished cathedral in Barcelona created by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaud or a number of smaller bombs to be packed into three vans that they had rented. The premature explosion appears to have prompted members of the cell to instead launch a series of attacks using one of the vans in Barcelona and a blue Audi car in Cambrils as well as knives and an axe. One woman died after being struck by the car in Cambrils. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Es Satty appears to the only one of the suspects whose name had already crossed the radar of the police. He was jailed in Castell n in Valencia in 2010 for smuggling cannabis and released in 2014--
