None hurt from Spanish bomb

A BOMB exploded at a resort hotel in south-eastern Spain yesterday, reports said. The building had been evacuated and no one was injured.

The Basque separatist group ETA was suspected of carrying out the explosion, TVE1 television said.

The bomb went off at 3:15pm (2.15 Irish time) in the Mediterranean town of Villajoyosa, 20 miles north-east of Alicante.

The hotel had been evacuated.

TVE1 said a warning had been telephoned to an office of the Basque newspaper Gara, the usual method for ETA warnings.
