Torremolinos explosion on the paseo marítimo in the La Carihuela district

An explosive device went off on a beach in Torremolinos in the early hours of this morning without causing any injuries.The small device went off at 20 minutes past midnight on the paseo marítimo in the La Carihuela district in the top tourist destination in Málaga province, between the Aloha Puerto and Timorsol hotels. The police, as yet, have not confirmed who they think may have placed the device, but it is almost certainly to be the work of Basque terrorists ETA. They have already claimed responsibility for four small and similar devices which exploded on the Cantabrian coast in the north of the country a week ago.
