ETA, "NEGOTIATING" with Zapatero again:

Zaragoza airport in northern Spain was evacuated on Wednesday after a warning of an attack in the name of the Basque group ETA, an airport spokeswoman said.

"The terminal has been evacuated and security checks are going on," she said.

The Basque road assistance organization DYA confirmed it had received a warning call and had alerted police.

"At 0906 (0706 GMT) we received a call in the name of ETA saying a grenade launcher was in place and would go off between 1000 and 1200 (local time)," a spokesman said.

The warning applied to both the military and civil airports in Zaragoza, she added.

Wednesday is a national holiday in Spain to celebrate both the Spanish nationality and the patron saint of Zaragoza, the Virgin of the Pillar [sic].

Ireland Online reports an explosion, but it's the only medium who does; no word about that blast on the other foreign media or the Spanish press, who present this as a false alarm.
