A car bomb placed inside a Renault Traffic van exploded at 9am this morning in the car park of Terminal 4 of Madrid’s Barajas airport, slightly injuring four people. Prior to the blast, two warning calls were received, the second of which was to claim responsibility for the attack in the name of the Basque separatist group, ETA, which gave police sufficient time to evacuate the area and transfer people to the main terminal building.

Two police officers were injured by flying glass and only two other people were very slightly hurt, although a number of passengers have been complaining of ear-ache caused by the noise of the explosion.
