Spanish authorities on high alert as they search for culprit behind Barcelona attack

Among the handful of international stories worth a look this morning:

• Spanish authorities are on high alert while they search for the man responsible for the attack that left 13 people dead in Barcelona over the weekend, Reuters reports. Bloomberg provides round-the-clock updates here, while the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal both look at how the attacks will impact Spain’s tourism industry.
• US President Donald Trump fired chief strategist Steve Bannon over the weekend, Reuters reports. The Financial Times says Bannon has promised to open fire (metaphorically speaking) on the White House, calling the firing the “first shot in the battle for the soul of the presidency.”
• The Trump administration also lost investor Carl Icahn, who quit his advisory post, the New York Times reports.
