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].

Don't begin to say it was Al Qaeda, as in 3/11, because it is not and it was not.

Barajas Airport, Spanish main and Europe's gateway to Latin America, remains closed. All flights cancelled.

Passengers have been evacuted out of the Terminal and stayed on a runway next to it. Broken glasses, dust and smoke. The police search for devices.

"The police search for devices."

Good deal.

Just because 1 went off, doesn't mean there aren't more.

It is the usual protocol, though when ETA says there was just one, it is generally true.

It seems ETA-Zapatero common strategy after 3/11 is developing some cracks.

Yep, if ETA communications has now broken down, in my opinion.

Here's a photo and a video on this blog I found on the 'net:

Who/what is ETA?
Please excuse my ignorance but I'm kind of new to the news "chewing" scene and I'm not familiar all these different terrorist organizations

ETA is a Basque 'separatist' organization which demands an independent homeland for the Basque people.

You can google "Basque" for more information on their rather unique culture and language as well as the primary location of the ethnic group.

You're most welcome.

The Basque language is very interesting. No one seems to really know exactly where it came from and it bears almost no linquistic relationship to any other European language.

Oh and ETA has been blowing up things and people in Spain for the last 40 or 50 years IIRC.

You're welcome.

Well, it seems to have been a longer cease fire than a typical middle east - "Palestine" cease fire.
