Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 'ETA bomb' explodes outside disco From CNN Madrid Bureau Chief Al Goodman Tuesday, February 14, 2006; Posted: 4:52 p.m. EST (21:52 GMT) MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A car bomb exploded at a discotheque in northern Spain on Tuesday night, causing damage but no injuries because police had cleared the area after a warning call in the name of the Basque separatist group ETA, an Interior Ministry spokesman told CNN. The blast came just four days after Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said that Spain could be witnessing the " beginning of the end " of ETA, which is blamed for more than 800 deaths in its 37-year fight for Basque independence. While government officials and political analysts speculate publicly about an imminent ETA cease-fire, the Basque ambulance service DYA received a call just after 7 p.m. (6 p.m. GMT) Tuesday in which the caller, speaking for ETA, warned of a bomb that would explode an hour later at La Nuba discotheque in the town of Urdax, in northern Navarra province, a DYA spokeswoman told CNN. Civil Guards rushed to the site and cleared the area. The bomb, in a van parked outside the dance club, went off at 8 p.m., the ministry spokesman said. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/02/14/spain.bomb/index.html Dasha: Ra/Ra/Ma satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
