Basque police find 200lb bomb

Police found a bomb in Spain’s Basque region today, five days after a car bombing in Madrid that was blamed on the separatist group Eta and killed one person, shattering a nine-month cease-fire.

Nearly 220 pounds of explosives were found in a drum near an abandoned car outside the Basque town of Amorebieta, and they had been rigged to be used in an attack, a spokesman for the Basque police said.
