AP: Terrorists explode bomb during Iraqi elections in Hotel in Spain
2005-01-30
A bomb exploded Sunday in a Mediterranean resort hotel in southeast Spain after a telephone warning from the Basque separatist group ETA, Interior Ministry officials said. The ministry office in the southeast al Andalus Alicante region said it did not know whether there were any casualties. The bomb detonated in the Hotel Port Denia around 3:15 p.m., the news agency Efe reported. The town of Denia is located in the Spanish region of Alicante on the Costa Blanca and is popular with tourists. Efe quoted police as saying the warning call was placed to police in the Basque region. The hotel was immediately evacuated and the bomb exploded about 30 minutes later.

The hotel bombing occurred two days before Spain's Parliament was scheduled to debate — and almost certainly reject — a proposal making the Basque region virtually independent. On Jan. 18, a powerful car bomb exploded in the affluent town of Gexto near the main Basque city, Bilbao. That blast also was preceded by a call from a person claiming to speak for ETA.
