A bomb exploded in the Spanish pilgrimage centre of Santiago de Compostela on Saturday, but caused no injuries, radio station Cadena Ser said. Police had cordoned off the area minutes earlier, the report said. Other reports said the bomb had been placed in an underground car park in the centre of the town in northwestern Spain, Reuters reported. Police and Interior Ministry officials could not immediately confirm the report. Basque separatist guerrilla group ETA regularly sets off bombs in Spain, often giving a warning in advance. ETA planted a bomb in Santiago de Compostela in August last year as part of a summer bombing campaign of popular tourist centres aimed at undermining Spain's important tourism sector. ETA has killed nearly 850 people since 1968 in a bombing and shooting campaign for an independent Basque state in northern Spain and southwestern France.
