Blast rocks Spanish resort
An explosion damaged a fast food restaurant in the Spanish beach resort of Torrevieja today but caused no injuries, following a double bomb warning in the name of Basque separatists ETA.
An Interior Ministry spokesman said the beach at the nearby resort of Santa Pola had been evacuated following a call to Basque nationalist newspaper Gara from a person claiming to speak for armed group saying two bombs would explode, one in Torrevieja and another in Santa Pola.
On Sunday a car bomb exploded outside a police barracks in Santa Pola, killing two people, one a six-year-old girl.
The caller said the bomb in Torrevieja was placed in the toilets of a fast food restaurant, while the device in Santa Pola was buried in a beach next to a disco, Gara said.
ETA has killed some 800 people since 1968 in a bloody campaign for an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southwestern France
