Via Reuters: ETA Sets Off Car Bomb in Madrid, 39 Injured
A car bomb exploded outside Madrid’s main convention center on Wednesday, injuring 39 people, after a warning from the Basque separatist group ETA.[...]

At least they issued a warning.
I often wonder what groups like this think. Do they really believe that blowing up cars will lead to Basque independence? I suppose they must, but somehow I don’t see the tactic working.
