Spanish hotel rocked by explosion |
|
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4220605.stmA bomb has exploded at a hotel in the town of Denia in south-east Spain, police say.
One person was slightly injured in the explosion, which badly damaged two floors of the hotel.
Police said it followed a telephone warning from the militant Basque separatist group, Eta.
The blast came two days before the Spanish parliament is scheduled to debate and vote on a Basque plan for independence from Spain - a proposal almost certain to be rejected.

1. Odd that they wouldn't wait until after the proposal was rejected. |

What is it with terrorists and their lousy timing?

down to only a hundred or so active militants. do you find it only coincidental that they are having a resurgence now that they have a president that is no friend of *'s?
