| Three small bomb explosions rock Spain |
| 2008-05-02 |
| Three small bombs exploded early on Thursday in Spain’s Basque city of San Sebastian and a nearby town after a warning call claiming to be from Basque separatist rebels ETA, said Spanish local officials. The caller warned of the two bombs in San Sebastian but not of another device which exploded shortly afterwards in the town of Arrigorriaga, Guipuzcoa province. There were no injuries. Two bombs went off outside a Basque Justice and Employment Department building in San Sebastian and another blast took place near a Labour Ministry building in Arrigorriaga, coinciding with Workers’ Day, which is a national holiday in Spain. “The damage looks quite spectacular, there were some vehicles inside the building complex and the door has been blown off,” Arrigorriaga’s Mayor, Alberto Ruiz, told state radio. “But I don’t think the damage is worth a lot,” he added. The events also came one day after Judge Baltasar Garzon denied Basque MayoressInocencia Galparsoro bail and sent her to prison, pending trial, for supporting the aims of ETA. |
