A group of Islamic State terrorists armed with AK-47s attacked the headquarters of a Real Madrid supporters club.
It is believed at least 16 people – mainly Real Madrid fans but also cafe staff and other customers – were killed more than 20 people injured.
ISIS said the attack was the latest in a campaign to ‘honour’ Abdel Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli, the group’s second-in-command, who was killed in a coalition strike in March.
President of the supporters club Ziad Subhan said: “A group of Islamic terrorists, from ISIS, came into the café, armed with AK-47s, shooting at random at everyone who was inside”.
Asked about the motives for the attack, AS reports the president said: “They don’t like football, they think it’s anti-Muslim.
“They just carry out attacks like this. This is a terrible tragedy”.
