MADRID, Spain - Basque separatists detonated a powerful car bomb in Madrid on Wednesday, a week after Spain’s Parliament overwhelmingly rejected a plan giving the region virtual independence. Dozens of people were injured.
The explosion came hours after the arrest of at least 14 suspected members of the armed ETA, among 200 rounded up in the last two years in a push to wipe out the separatist group.
The bomb went off around 9:30 a.m. near the convention center Ifema, shattering thick panes of glass in buildings and damaging cars. Authorities anticipated the blast, having received a warning pointing them to the bomb’s general location.

Another wake-up call for the Spaniards?
Amazing that none were injured seriously or killed.
