Car bomb blast at Madrid airport
A car bomb has exploded in the car park of Madrid's Barajas Airport, Spanish officials have said.
Two police officers who were examining the vehicle parked close to terminal four when it blew up were reported as being lightly injured.
The blast was preceded by a telephone warning, which meant that the terminal had already been evacuated.
Spanish media reported that the Basque separatist group Eta has claimed responsibility for the blast.
If confirmed this would mean the end of a ceasefire declared in March after four decades of violence aimed at creating an independent Basque state in the north of the country.
The blast sent a plume of dark smoke high into the skies.
Flights in and out of terminal four have been halted, though normal operations are continuing in the airports other three terminals, officials say.
