| Spain has urged the UK to speed up the formal identification of the seven people killed in the attack amid mounting fears for 39-year-old HSBC employee Ignacio Echeverría. | |
| According to the Spanish daily El País, the country’s foreign minister, Alfonso Dastis, spoke to his British counterpart, Boris Johnson, on Monday night to ask for efforts to identify the bodies of the victims of the attack to be speeded up so as not to “add to the pain and anguish of the families”. | |
| Johnson apparently told Dastis that procedures needed to be followed to prevent misidentification. | |
| The paper said that the sister of the missing Spaniard, 39-year-old HSBC employee Ignacio Echeverría, had been unable to see any of the victims’ bodies so far. | |
| Echeverría’s father, Joaquín, said he feared the worst. | |
| “We’ve had no news and at the moment, given that the wounded have been identified, I’m very pessimistic.” | |
| He added: “By now you would have thought he’d have been identified and it seems he’s not among the wounded.” | |
