Four bombs have exploded at popular seaside resorts in Cantabria, northern Spain, after warning calls from the Basque separatist group ETA.
There were no casualties because the authorities evacuated the areas in response to the warning. Authorities believed that ETA's attack is meant to hurt Spain's key tourism industry. In past years the group had carried out similar attacks in various vacation resort areas. ETA is blamed for over 800 deaths in its 40-year campaign for Basque independence in an area straddling northeastern Spain and southwestern France.
