Heavy rain in Barcelona disrupts rail service as troops search for more flood victims in Valencia



Continuing storms in eastern Spain that led to massive flooding last week and killed at least 217 people, most of them near Valencia, dumped rain on Barcelona on Monday, prompting authorities to suspend commuter rail service. Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente said he was suspending all commuter trains in northeastern Catalonia, a region of 8 million people, at the request of civil protection officials.
