WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is sending condolences to the families and victims of the attack in Barcelona and has offered U.S. assistance to authorities in Spain.

Speaking to reporters at the State Department shortly after a van plowed into a crowd in Barcelona, Tillerson said the incident “has the hallmarks of what appears to be yet another terrorist attack.”

He said U.S. diplomats in Spain are currently assisting Americans there and asked those who are safe to notify their friends and families. He said the United States would never relent in tracking down terrorist suspects and holding them to account for their actions.

He said “terrorists around the world should know that the United States and our allies are resolved to find you and bring you to justice.”

  1. Yep, for a terrorist attack in Spain, we’re full steam ahead holding attackers (on foreign soil) ACCOUNTABLE!

    But not for the terrorist attack in Virginia? I guess that means Spain will prosecute Mr. Fields?

    Please explain, Rexxon Valdez.

  2. And when found we’ll release some fire and fury for good measure.

  3. I’m sorry, what the fuck is he talking about? Is his state dept planning a coup on Spain?

  5. When the FUCK are you going to hold the treasonous NAZIS in our country accountable you deceitful, lying, hypocritical old fucking assclown?

    It’s pretty simple. Either you guys do your jobs and take care of that filth. Or eventually the citizenry at large will. Up to you fucko.
