A car bomb parked outside the Defence Ministry offices in Logroño, La Rioja, on Sunday failed to explode
The Spanish Interior Ministry now believes that Basque terrorist group ETA has 3 different active cells. One is thought to be mobile and based in France, another is in Vizcaya in the Basque region and the last in Navarra.
One of them was responsible for the car bomb placed on Sunday night in Logroño, which is now known to have contained 61 kilos of explosives. It was thanks to a fault in the detonator wire that the device failed to explode outside the offices of the Ministry of Defence. The car used, a green Ford Fiesta, had been stolen in France on September 3. It was the fifth failed ETA attack since the ending of their cease fire, announced by them at the end of June.
Anti-terrorist sources told the 20 minutos website that the terrorists objective was for ‘an intense and sustained’ campaign of attacks, and that the three cells remained active despite the police success on September 1 when four alleged top ETA explosives experts were arrested in Cahors, near Toulouse in France.
