Rescuers have found the body of the second Ecuadorian who was missing in the rubble of a huge Madrid Airport car-bomb blast blamed on the armed Basque separatist group Eta.

Four days after a powerful car bomb attack at Madrid’s airport, blamed on the Basque separatist group Eta, rescue workers were today giving up hope of finding alive two people caught in the explosion.

Spain’s ruling Socialist party today said a peace process launched with a March ceasefire announcement by armed Basque separatists was now dead, not just suspended, following a weekend car bombing.

Crews sifting through tonnes of rubble have reached the core area of a car bombing blamed on Basque separatists, but cannot go any faster as they search for two missing men, Madrid’s mayor said today.
