ETA Bombs Television Station in Northern Spain | Europe | Deutsche Welle | 31.12.2008

ETA Bombs Television Station in Northern Spain | Europe | Deutsche Welle | 31.12.2008: "The Basque separatist group ETA, under pressure after the arrests of its top leaders in 2008, ended the year by bombing the headquarters of a regional broadcasting network.

A car bomb exploded Wednesday in front of the Basque public broadcaster EITB in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao following a warning call from the armed separatist group ETA.

According to the Associated Press, EITB, which managed to stay on air despite the explosion at its headquarters in central Bilbao city, said in its early afternoon news report that the blast caused significant damage and one person was injured."

ETA has habitually staged attacks at the end of the year, most recently on December 30, 2006, when it bombed a car parked at Madrid airport, killing two Ecuadoran men who were sleeping in their cars.

That attack torpedoed tentative peace talks with the Socialist government Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. ETA then formally called off a 15-month-old ceasefire in June, 2007.


they want to talk but bomb as well. When will they learn that rational people and governments will not work with terrorists.?
