21 March 2008
MADRID - A car bomb exploded in northern Spain on Friday, but there were no injuries after a warning was called in, the Spanish state broadcaster RNE reported.
The report said the bomb exploded next to a police barracks.
Beforehand, however, a caller identifying himself as a member of the underground Basque separatist organisation ETA called in to give a warning. The attack took place in the city of Calahorra, some 250 kilometres north-east of the capital Madrid.
Police sealed off the area around the explosion site, amid fears that a second bomb may have been planted.
