Got him! Police in Spain say they have shot and killed a suspected Islamic terrorist who was wearing possible explosives belt in town outside Barcelonaa.
The man is reportedly suspected van attacker Younes Abouyaaqoub, a 22-year-old fugitive that Spain has been searching for in a massive manhunt.
During the search for the alleged Islamic terrorist, police raided his apartment — and what they found was filthy, Fox News reported.
According to The Sun —
Pictures taken inside the run-down apartment show a book entitled ‘The Life of the Prophet Muhammad’ on a mattress on the floor of a filthy bedroom.
Clothes can also be seen spilling out of open suitcases and a hammer, scissors and nails can be seen scattered around the living room.
The apartment also contains a meagre collection of trophies, including a junior climbing award, a trinket for completing a 10k run and health and safety diploma certificates.
A Moroccan passport is also seen left on a table inside the flat.

Authorities said Monday that Abouyaaqoub drove the van that plowed down the city’s famed Las Ramblas promenade, killing 13 pedestrians and injuring more than 120 others.
They said Abouyaaqoub, who was born in Morocco and has Spanish residency, also is suspected of carjacking a man and stabbing him to death as he made his getaway, raising the death toll between the Barcelona attack and a related attack hours later to 15.
Another vehicle attack early Friday by other members of what Catalonia regional police have described as a 12-member extremist cell killed one person and wounded several others in the coastal town of Cambrils.
That ended in a shootout with police, who killed five attackers.
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for both attacks.
