Bomb Explodes in Spanish Political Office Days Before Election

From CNN.com:

"MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A bomb has exploded at a political party office in northern Spain early Friday, causing damage but no injuries -- just 10 days ahead of national elections.


"Police inspect the damage caused by a bomb at the Basque Socialist party offices in Derio. 1 of 3 Authorities blamed the blast on the Basque separatist group ETA...

"Last week Spain ordered its security forces to go on maximum alert ahead of March 9 general elections.

Sources said a key concern has been potential attacks by ETA, which is blamed for more than 800 deaths in its long fight for Basque."
