An ETA bomb exploded this morning near the courthouse in Tolosa (Guipúzcoa) causing extensive damage to buildings and cars.
A warning was received by the Ayuda en Carretera (DYA) in Guipúzcoa about twenty minutes before the device exploded.
Investigations so far have determined that the bomb, concealed in a backpack, contained five kilos of explosives and was placed at the scene by two individuals about one hour before the detonation.
The explosion ripped a three metre hole in the facade of the building, shattered all the windows in the five storey building, demolished a ten metre section of wall adjacent to the courthouse and damaged about twenty cars.
