ETA car bomb injures 52 in Madrid
Suspected members of the Basque separatist group ETA detonated a powerful car bomb today in Madrid, injuring 52 people in the sixth attack since Spain’s prime minister offered the group negotiations if it renounces violence.
An anonymous warning call on behalf of ETA to a pro-independence Basque newspaper preceded the morning rush-hour blast in an area of office buildings and shops in a working-class area of Spain’s capital, officials said. Police had time to cordon off the area mentioned in the call.
