Madrid: A booby-trapped bomb, thought to have been placed by Basque separatists, exploded at a radio and television transmission station in Spain's Basque country on Saturday as a police robot moved it.
The explosion, which came less than two weeks before general elections in March, caused no injuries or damage when it exploded around midday outside the hilltop facility at Arnotegi, near the city of Bilbao, police said.
Authorities received a warning call approximately one hour before the bomb exploded saying that ETA guerrillas had planted the bomb, police said.
The explosion appeared to be ETA's second attack in 2008 after a bomb hidden inside a backpack caused considerable damage to a courthouse in Spain's Basque region earlier this month.
