Bomb Explodes in Spanish Park

PA: Bomb Explodes in Spanish Park

A small bomb exploded today in a park in the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela after a warning call on behalf of the Basque separatist [the word should be 'terrorist', not 'separatist'! -- F.A.] group ETA.

The explosive device went off in the Parque de la Alameda, in the heart of the north-western pilgrimage city, around noon (1100 BST) causing little damage and no injuries.

Several small bombs have gone off in northern Spain in recent weeks following warnings in the name of ETA.

Today a caller told the pro-Basque daily Gara that a device had been planted in the park in Santiago and another in the nearby city of A Coruna.

The targeted area in A Coruna was cordoned off and a hotel and social club evacuated. No explosives have been found.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.
