Car bombing in Madrid

Again with the bombings in Spain. This time a bomb exploded injuring 43 people, maybe more, I don't trust the injury reports. Thankfully a person called saying the group Eta was planning to explode a device. Well, not thankfully because the person claimed to be a member of Eta. So it's not so thankfully. Pardon my train of thought as I am thinking of something else related to school. Below is the story along with an article about Eta, the group that claims the attack.

A car bomb has exploded near a Madrid conference centre, injuring 43 people, hours before a royal visit.

Spanish police say a caller claiming to be from the Basque militants, Eta, told a newspaper the group was planning to explode a device in the city.

The blast occurred at 0930 (0830 GMT) near the Juan Carlos I Convention Centre - one of the proposed venues for Madrid's 2012 Olympic bid.

Who are Eta?

For more than three decades the armed organisation Eta has waged a bloody campaign for independence for the seven regions in northern Spain and south-west France that Basque separatists claim as their own.

Euskadi Ta Azkatasuna, Eta, whose name stands for Basque Homeland and Freedom, first emerged in the 1960s as a student resistance movement bitterly opposed to General Franco's repressive military dictatorship.

Under Franco the Basque language was banned, their distinctive culture suppressed, and intellectuals imprisoned and tortured for their political and cultural beliefs.

Yea like the IRA always used to gives warnings (they didn't intend to kill people, well, in the bombings anyhow) You get any job in the UK, no matter how shit, and you will always get training on how to take a bomb threat over the phone, what to look out for etc. Completely different to Islamist terrorism where the actual intention is to kill. Still, eta are c.unts

They didn't do it with the intention of helping the authorities. The person who called just said a vehicle was going to explode but failed to give any more information. The caller just wanted to let the people that the explosion was going to take place and nobody could stop it. Sad but true.
