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.
Don't begin to say it was Al Qaeda, as in 3/11, because it is not and it was not.
Thank you Jay for the update.

Looking for updates.
"The police search for devices."
Good deal.
Just because 1 went off, doesn't mean there aren't more.
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:

"ETA. fin de la tregua"
Se rompió la baraja
BLOG SNIPPET: "Sé que no es día 11 pero espero que haya sido Al-Qeda, habrá pensado hoy un resacoso Rubalcaba al que habrán tenido que despertar con la mala noticia."
You can google "Basque" for more information on their rather unique culture and language as well as the primary location of the ethnic group.

Than you.

Thanks Cindy, so much for the cease fire.
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.
L
You're welcome.
Well, it seems to have been a longer cease fire than a typical middle east - "Palestine" cease fire.
Stay positive Cindy. Happy New Year!
