Police in Spain have been searching the home of a missing imam who is believed to have been the ringleader of an Islamic extremist cell that carried out vehicle attacks in Barcelona and the Spanish seaside resort of Cambrils.

The manhunt is the its ninth raid on homes in Ripoll so far, in their hunt for people connected to the attacks.

Neighbours said police came to the apartment of Abdelbaki Es Satty in the northern Catalan town close to the French border, with a search warrant authorizing police to remove any terrorism-related “weapons, ammunition, explosives, instruments, documents or papers”.
