Children among injured in 4 a.m. attack blamed on Basque separatist group


MADRID - A car bomb exploded outside a Civil Guard barracks in the northern Spanish city of Burgos early on Wednesday, injuring 46 people in an attack authorities blamed on Basque separatist rebels ETA.

The blast at around 4 a.m. (10 p.m. ET) ripped away most of the outer wall of the multi-storey barracks in one of the biggest attacks for some time by ETA, whose ranks have been decimated by arrests.

I'm sorry to hear of that - I was worried about that happening during the Tour de France's stages in Barcelona, especially because of the very large crowds that turned out for the race...
