Eta bomb hurts 31 in Madrid business park
At least 31 people were injured on Wednesday when a car bomb exploded in a business park near Madrid shortly after a phone alert on behalf of the armed Basque separatist group ETA, rescue services said.
Most of those hurt were only slightly injured, in the blast, which occurred hours before Spanish King Juan Carlos was due to visit the area.
An anonymous caller claiming to represent ETA alerted the Basque newspaper Gara 30 minutes before the blast, which occurred at 9:35 am (0835 GMT) police said.
