MADRID, Spain -- Three or four explosions have been reported in Madrid -- at least one at a gas station -- after a warning from the Basque separatist group ETA, state radio said Friday.
A telephone caller issued the warning in the name of ETA, saying five bombs were set to explode at 1730 GMT, Basque newspaper Gara reported on its Web site, according to Reuters.
Radio stations later reported four explosions. The blasts were small and no casualties were reported, Reuters quoted the reports on Radio Ser and National Radio as saying.
One device exploded at a gas station near a highway packed with people leaving the city for a long holiday weekend, the news agency Efe quoted the station manager as saying, according to The Associated Press.
ETA is considered a terrorist group by Spain.

"ETA is considered a terrorist group by Spain."
How subjective of the Spanish. Just because they try to achieve political ends by blowing things up and killing people, while supporting themselve through criminal means. I hate MSM qualifiers like this.
Yeah, you think? What does the MSM and specifically CNN call them?
