ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A powerful explosion apparently caused by a car bomb caused extensive damage to Spain's busiest airport Saturday, an airport official said, but there were no reports of casualties.

The parking lot explosion followed a warning to police, who were able to evacuate part of Madrid's Barajas International Airport. It was not clear who gave the warning.

Police received the warning at 8:15 a.m., telling them the bomb would detonate in 45 minutes, the official said.

Terminal four, which serves Iberia Airlines and its partners, has been closed, although the airports three other terminals are still operating, the official said.

Witnesses described a huge column of smoke billowing out from the scene of the blast.

Samantha Graham, an employee of CNN's parent company who was in an airport concourse for a flight, said hundreds of people evacuated the terminal through jetways and have gathered outside on the airport tarmac.

CNN's Madrid bureau chief Al Goodman said the explosion caused a collapse of part of the airport terminal and extensive damage to glass."
