CNN Made a Very Bizarre Comparison to the Barcelona Attack, and Got Torched for It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Viewers were astounded and confused at the bizarre comparison CNN’s Wolf Blitzer made during the cable network’s coverage of the terrible terrorist attack in Barcelona Thursday.

Jim Sciutto seemed to make the attempt to tie the attack in Barcelona to that in Charlottesville by white supremacist at an “alt-right” rally against left-wing counter-protesters.

“But the final point I would make, Wolf, is just this note,” Schiutto said, “that in light of the uproar of the last several days, 5 days apart you have a white supremacist in Charlottesville use a vehicle to kill, and here you have attackers at least following the modus operandi of terrorists, using vehicles apparently to kill as well” . . .

Some took to twitter to criticize Blitzer for offering that terrorists in Europe might have been somehow inspired by the white supremacist attack in Virginia.

Woman in Barcelona Cheats Death at the Hands of Terrorists for Third Time

An Australian woman cheated death for the third time in three months when she narrowly avoided being directly caught up in the Islamist terror attack that convulsed Barcelona on Thursday.

Julie Monaco, 26, from the Victoria state capital of Melbourne, was shopping with friends in a mall when terrorists drove a van into pedestrians and shoppers in the Las Ramblas district of Barcelona.

This was the third time Monaco had brushed with terrorism since she began a European tour in May but she told an Australian radio station she will not be deterred from seeing the world or enjoying all the sights that Europe has to offer.

In June, she was put in lockdown on the London Underground when terrorists plowed across London Bridge before going on a murderous knife rampage in nearby Borough Market.

Days later, Monaco was in Notre-Dame in Paris when a police officer was stabbed outside the famous cathedral. French police shot the Algerian man who reportedly attacked them while shouting “this is for Syria.” (Read more from “Woman in Barcelona Cheats Death at the Hands of Terrorists for Third Time” HERE)

Barcelona Terror: 13 Dead, 100 Injured After Van Rams Pedestrians

A van zigzagged at high speed through a popular pedestrian zone in Barcelona, killing at least 13 people and injuring more than 100.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack Thursday at 4:51 p.m. local time near the famous, tree-lined Las Ramblas promenade.

“The perpetrators of the attack in #Barcelona are Islamic state soldiers and carried out the operation on command of [ISIS’ leader] of targeting coalition countries,” the ISIS release stated, according to SITE Intel Group.

Two suspects are under arrest, and a manhunt is underway for the driver of the van.

Police now believe the attack is related to an explosion that took place Wednesday night at a house in the Spanish town of Alcanar in which one person was killed. The connection raises the possibility the terrorists intended to use explosives in the attack, but police did not provide further details.
