MADRID (AFP) — A booby-trapped van exploded outside a civil guard barracks in Spain's restive Basque country on Wednesday, killing one guard and wounding four others, in an attack the government blamed on separatist group ETA.
"ETA has taken another step with this horrific attack, which is especially evil for its indiscriminate nature and the people and children it could have killed," Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba told reporters.
"They were thinking of carrying out a massacre," the minister said, explaining that there were 29 people, including five children, inside the barracks that house police and their families in the village of Legutiano when the bomb went off at around 3:00 am (0100 GMT).
