Car Bomb Explodes in Madrid
 A powerful car bomb exploded on Wednesday in Madrid after a telephone warning from a caller claiming to represent the armed Basque separatist group ETA. At least 10 people were injured. The blast came a week after Parliament overwhelmingly rejected a proposal from the Basque legislature to give the troubled region autonomy bordering on independence. The Interior Ministry said the bomb went off around 9:30 a.m. near Ifema, a convention center where King Juan Carlos was to attend the opening of an art show later in the day. Television footage showed smoke rising from the site, outside a building housing the French computer manufacturer Bull.Posted by: Fred 2005-02-09 |
