Spanish officials claim the Basque (Bosk) separatist group E-T-A planned to ignite the explosives in Madrid. If the bomb had gone off, Spanish officials say it would have caused a crater more than 100 feet wide, and could have injured people a mile away. E-T-A, listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union, has killed nearly 850 people since 1968 in a campaign for an independent state in northern Spain and southwestern France. The explosives were taken to a remote location and detonated.
