Bomb Rocks University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain

The memory of dismembered, bloody bodies of victims of training bombing in Spain remains alive. Just as the gloom of the tragedy refuses to die in the course of time, Spain again is rocked by another violent blast, this time hitting the University of Navarra situated near the Basque Country. Reports said the Eta separatists could be behind the bombing that injured more than 15 persons and set several cars ablaze. No one died in the incident. The Eta extermists have been campaigning for independence from Spain.

Here’s the news details from BBC:

The bomb exploded in a car park at the university, setting cars on fire and blowing out the windows of nearby buildings.

“Suddenly the whole building shook and there was a huge column of smoke. It was tremendous, a huge explosion,” Aparicio Caicedo, a 29-year-old Ecuadoran studying at the university, told the Associated Press news agency.

“There were other small explosions after the fire set off the fuel tanks in the parked cars nearby,” said Bernardino Leon, a University of Navarra professor.

The blast prompted an evacuation of the Roman Catholic university.
