Catalonia referendum; Spanish police target Catalan government

Spain's Guardia Civil police have detained a senior Catalan official and raided regional government ministries concerned in organising a illegal independence vote.
Tensions were already high before the arrest of Josep Maria Jové, secretary-general of the Catalan vice presidency.
Catalan leaders area unit defying a writ to halt the vote, condemned by the capital of Spain government as prohibited.
One official mixed up peaceful resistance to shield the buildings.
"The time has come back - let's resist peacefully; let's embark and defend our establishments," the president of the Catalan National Assembly, Jordi Sánchez, tweeted.
