Bomb goes off in Spain after warning in name of ETA

MADRID, Mar 8: A bomb exploded today at the offices of a far-right political party in Santona in northern Spain after a warning phone call in the name of ETA, officials said.

A spokesman for the police in the Basque Country said the Basque road assistance organisation had received a call at 0615 GMT from someone claiming to represent the Basque separatist guerrillas. The bomb went off at around 0700 GMT.

The regional government confirmed there had been a blast at the offices of the Falange party, which strongly opposes regional separatism. Officials said there had been no injuries, but police had cordoned off the area and were assessing damage.
