Strong explosion in Madrid airport...

Iraqi TV cut out right after they slipped the noose on.

isn't el al israeli???
perhaps it isn't eta
According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet relying on reports from Spanish ABC two persons injured, probably police officers. Prior warning from what was claimed to be ETA. Panic on the airport, people evacuated from the terminal out on the landing strips.
Regardless, those three airlines use the same terminal as Iberia.
Thank goodness no deaths.
i just watched it...he looked very calm to me
hey canadianlly...i'm canadian too...vancouver
Wonder how all them Shia and Sunni are getting along at the annual hajj get together?
CNN International is speculating ETA as warning call was made. It seems the police got the area evacuated. The BBC has just shown Saddam up to the second of execution. Apparently he yelled support for Palistinians at the end and he appeared to complain to the guards.
The traditional car bomb marking the beginning of Eid Al-Adha.
Now they are saying no reports of injuries on CNN.
hey canadianlly...i'm canadian too...vancouver
Me too although I haven't been back for almost 20 years (Calgary).
It's likely. They always warn people to get away before something blows up.
Too bad. What about at the airport?
Seems a lot of us Western Candians aren't pro-Hussein....well, except parts of Vancouver... :-)
LOL.
Calgary?? I always wondered if there were any Alberta FReepers! I spent the last few years in Edmonton for school. Moved up to AK in Sept.

Three people have been injured by the explosion of a car bomb in the parking of the T-4 [Terminal #4] of Barajas Airport in Madrid around 9:00 AM this Saturday. They are agents of the National Police corps. The Madrid regional government has activated alert level 2 in the region and the SAMUR has set up a portable hospital next to the way out of the terminal. The news agency Vasco press attribute to ETA a call around 8:00 AM to the road assistance asociation DYA in Guipuzcoa [Basque Country] warning of the planting of a bomb in a Renault Traffic van parked next to the T-4. Aena [Spanish airport authority] has cancelled the air traffic in Barajas as the Security Forces search [for more devices]. On August 28th 2001, ETA planted a car loaded with 45 kilograms of dynamite in the T-2 of Barajas, producing a 30 meter wide hole.
