Tuesday 29 July 2008 By AFP http://www.france24.com/en/20080729-blast-rocks-spanish-seaside-resort-no-in jured-spain-blast An explosion rocked a beach in the southern Spanish seaside resort of Torremolinos on Tuesday but no one was hurt, police told AFP. A small device exploded not far from the Aloha Puerto hotel on the seafront around midnight (2200 GMT Monday), a police spokesman said. Explosive experts were at the scene. Cadena Ser radio said the device contained one kilo (about two pounds) of explosives. No one was hurt in the blast even though people were strolling along the beach at peak summer season and the hotel was not evacuated. But police cordoned off the area, the spokesman added. It was not immediately known if the separatist Basque organisation ETA was behind the explosion. A Basque interior ministry spokeswoman said Monday that a small bomb placed by the separatists went off at a highway building site in Spain's northern Basque region. The explosion on the A-8 highway near the town of Orio caused no injuries but damaged four vehicles and six shacks used by work crews, she added. The damage was discovered Monday morning when workers arrived at the site. Monday's explosion was reportedly the third set off by ETA on property belonging to firms involved in the construction of a high-speed line linking Bilbao, San Sebastian and Vitoria. The bombing follows the arrest last week of several members of ETA's most active cell which the government blames for most of the attacks carried out by the outfit since it called off its ceasefire in June 2007. Anti-terrorism judge Baltasar Garzon on Sunday ordered the detention of seven people on charges of belonging to the cell, including its suspected leader Arkaitz Goikoetxea, and released three others, two without conditions and one on bail. In France, a man and a woman arrested on Friday near the city of Dijon. ETA set off four weak bombs at two seaside resorts in northern Spain, Laredo and Noja, on July 20 which slightly injured a woman who was struck by a rock that was sent flying by one of the blasts. The group is blamed for the deaths of 823 people in its 40-year campaign of bombings and shootings to carve a Basque homeland out of northern Spain and southwestern France. It declared a "permanent" ceasefire in March 2006, raising hopes for an end to the violence. But an ETA bombing at Madrid's airport in December 2006 that killed two men put an end to tentative peace talks with the government and in June 2007 the outfit formally called off its ceasefire.
