| 2008-12-26 |
| (Xinhua) -- A bomb exploded at a real estate agency and another device was defused at a European sports rehabilitation center in southwestern France on Thursday, local sources said. The explosion occurred before dawn in a real estate agency's office in Anglet of France's Basque region, the local police said. No one was injured. A phrase "Basque is not for sale" was spray painted across the building. In Carbreton, 20 kilometers from Anglet, another explosive device made of a water bottle of flammable liquid with a detonator was discovered around midday Thursday. No one had claimed responsibility. An investigation was launched, but it remained unclear whether the incidents involved "terrorism" or not, according to the sources. |
