Three bombs have exploded in Spain, with at least two believed to have been planted by Basque separatist group ETA. No injuries were reported following the blasts in the north of the country. One bomb exploded outside a bank in Getxo, damaging a cash dispenser and breaking windows. Officials said the homemade device packed into a gasoline tin went off without warning at about 5am. Five hours later, an anonymous caller said ETA had planted four bombs on beaches in Laredo, Ris and Noja as well as at a golf course close to Noja. Police cordoned off the towns and a device exploded near Laredo's beach at around 12:15 pm. It went off on the seafront promenade in the Cantabrian resort. Later in the day a second bomb exploded in Lardeo. The most recent attack by the armed Basque separatist group happened on July 4. The organisation, which is fighting for independence in the Basque region, carried out a bomb attack against a telecommunications centre.

  • So how long before Bush extends the 'War On Terror' by invading Spain?

  • Spain has had such problems for a long while. 800 people have died since they've started their want for Independence.

    Move. Demanding to have land that isn't yours by claiming (I'm guessing) it's no the government's either is stupid. Gather all the money and supplies you can and move to a remote island somewhere...buy it and live. Or go into the rain forest and live as a tribe.

    I don't think such a group is smart enough to realize that they will not get their way if they continue on this path. They are just going to be hunted and taken in for questioning and maybe never released.

  • It's a difficult situation, and it seems surreal that this still happens in a "western" European country. I juat went to Spain, and the situation there is very unique. they have many of the modern technologies, but some backwardness not usually associated with a western country is still very prevalent.

  • This is disturbing. I thought ETA has been scaling down their terrorist activities, esp in civilian places like beach resorts...
