Bomb injures 17 in Spain

A CAR BOMB exploded in a University of Navarre car park in northern Spain yesterday, slightly wounding 17 people, after a warning call in the name of Basque separatist rebels ETA, the government said.

Interior minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said a telephone call in the name of Basque separatist rebels ETA an hour before the blast had warned of a car bomb left in a university.

But while the caller identified the make and colour of the vehicle it did not specify the university, and police rushed to a campus in the Basque Country regional capital Vitoria.
