Hearing a bomb went of in Barcelona. Nothing in Reuters yet
This sort of relatively minor incident tends to be radical leftists or ETA- international terrorists tend to be better organized and more lethal.
OPINION-SPECULATION: I think so too, however jihadi types have threatened Italy before and Italy has tightened up. When that happens, weaker targets might be attacked.
Basques.
12B if you are waiting for reuters for a real honest news story you may have to wait forever.

"MADRID, Spain - A small, rudimentary bomb exploded Tuesday outside the Italian Cultural Institute in Barcelona, injuring a policeman and killing a bomb-sniffing dog, the Italian Embassy said."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "La Rosa described the explosion as small but said he had no details on damage. He said it happened between 8 and 8:15 a.m. He said the policeman was injured and the dog was killed.
"At this point I can't tell you, nor do we think it would be responsible to say it was a terrorist attack," La Rosa said. "I can't say I rule it out or don't rule it out because for the time being we don't have information."
Spanish National Radio said the policeman was only slightly injured."
