A car bomb has exploded in the northern Spanish city of Burgos, slightly injuring dozens of people while causing severe damage.
The blast took place around 4:00 am (0200 GMT) on Wednesday, near the Civil Guard barracks in the city, Reuters reported.
The area has been cordoned off.
The police suspect the blast to be the work of the Basque separatist organization (ETA) that abandoned its "permanent ceasefire" in June 2007.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility and the bombing had not been preceded by a telephone warning as is common by the separatist group.
ETA, which is considered a terrorist organization by the European Union and the US, has been blamed for the deaths of 825 people in a four-decade campaign for an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southern France.
The most recent killing attributed to ETA was on June 19, when a police inspector died in a booby-trapped car in the northern city of Bilbao.
