A car bomb exploded close to a police station in the northern Spanish town of Calahorra on Friday after a warning from the Basque separatist group EAT, but only one person was hurt, the town's mayor said.
EAT has launched sporadic attacks in Spain since it ended a ceasefire it announced in March 2006 by bombing Madrid Airport in December 2006, killing two people.
Javier Pagola, mayor of Calahorra in the Rioja region, said a policeman had been slightly hurt by flying glass."One Guardia Civil has been hurt by glass which entered his home," Pagola told state television."There is a lot of damage."
The police station and surrounding area crowed with people attending the Holy Week religious procession had been cleared and cordoned off before the explosion.
