Madrid: The Basque separatist group ETA provided Spaniards with a sharp reminder that it was still in business on Friday night as five simultaneous bomb blasts at petrol stations produced chaos on roads leading out of Madrid. Television and radio stations reported that up to six persons, including two police officers, had been slightly wounded, though the Interior Ministry could not confirm the injuries. The blasts brought back memories of the last time Madrid was attacked by terrorists, when 191 people were killed by the Al-Qaeda linked Islamist terrorists who blew up a dozen coaches in four commuter trains in March. Telephone warnings seemed to have given time for most of the petrol stations to be evacuated, and witnesses described the blasts, believed to have been caused by bombs left in rubbish bins, as small. The attacks caused traffic jams on five motorways out of Madrid at the beginning of a long holiday weekend.
