The suspect is Driss Oukabir, blurb below from El Mundo:

"In it you could read that the young man has a relationship, that his favorite series is Prison Break, his favorite channel MTV and, like favorite books, the Koran. Among the pages that followed stood out 'Brothers united by Islam' or 'Moroccans for Europe'. It also highlighted a photograph that had been uploaded from 'Mafia Maghrebine', a youth band that was disarticulated in 2013 after carrying out numerous robberies to minors and making Islamist apology in favor of the maghreb and its culture."

Trump weighs in:

"Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!"

I guess this refers to the "dipping bullets in pig's blood" thing that has been circulated for a while online, though I thought it had been debunked?

Yes. No evidence that Pershing ever ordered it but it is a popular idea on the right re the pig blood, making the eat pork idea but would only inflame the situation.
