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.

Terminal 4 is the Iberia terminal. There are probably a lot of Spaniards who'd like to bomb it! (One of the worst, most customer-unfriendly airlines in the world.)

But seriously, the timing of this is a little odd. Zapatero has practically announced that he is "negotiating" with ETA to give away Pais Vasco, and it's hard to see how they'd benefit from this.
