Bomb in Spain after ETA warning
By CNN Madrid Bureau Chief Al Goodman
MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A small bomb exploded Saturday in northwestern Spain, causing no injuries, after a warning call was made in the name of the Basque separatist group ETA, an interior ministry spokeswoman told CNN.
Police were later still looking for a second bomb.
Last Saturday, two small bombs detonated in northern Spain after a similar warning call, slightly injuring four people.
The most recent blast happened near the Santa Susana Church in central Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Spain's Galicia province, at the height of tourist season.
Spain's national radio reported a wedding was cleared from the church after ETA telephoned the Basque newspaper Gara -- which frequently receives warning calls in the name of ETA -- and warned the blast would go off at noon.
In the phone call, ETA also reported a second bomb would detonate at noon in nearby La Coruna, but police have not found the device and believe the timer may have malfunctioned, the interior spokeswoman said.
As a precaution, police cleared out an area between the Hotel Finisterre and an archaeological museum in La Coruna.
Last Saturday, two bombs exploded in the village ports of San Xenxo (San chen-cho) and Baiona in Pontevedra province.
It was the third weekend of explosions on Spain's northern Atlantic coast, which is generally crowded with tourists during the August vacation season.
ETA has been blamed for more than 810 killings since 1968 in its fight for an independent Basque homeland. The group is listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the European Union, and has for years threatened tourists.
ETA is also blamed for the series of small bombs that exploded in recent weeks in Spain's northern coastal area.
Of those earlier bombs, just one person was reported injured.
