Car bomb blast at Madrid airport | Car bomb blast at Madrid airport |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A car bomb has exploded in the car park of Madrid's Barajas Airport, injuring at least four people. | |
Two police officers who were examining the vehicle parked close to terminal four were among those injured. | |
The government said Basque separatist group Eta had carried out the attack - ending a ceasefire declared in March. | |
The Eta ceasefire came after four decades of violence aimed at creating an independent Basque state in the north of the country. | |
Saturday's blast sent a plume of dark smoke high into the skies. | |
Flights in and out of terminal four have been halted, and there is chaos at the other three terminals, officials say. | |
