A man wearing an explosives belt has been shot dead in northeastern Spain as police hunted for suspected terror attacker who last week drove a van through Barcelona's Rambla boulevard, killing 13 people, police said Monday.

A manhunt for the Barcelona attacker had been active since Thursday, when he is believed to have left the scene in a hijacked car.

"The suspect in Subirats is wearing an explosives belt. The individual has been shot dead," said the Mossos d'Esquadra regional police on their official Twitter account.

All others believed to be linked to the attack have been detained or are dead.
