Spanish officials say three bombs which exploded in the Basque region overnight are the work of the separatist group ETA.
Basque regional police said the first bomb went off in Arrigorriaga near Bilbao and the other two in San Sebastian. No one was injured in the May Day blasts, which targeted government departments dealing with labour issues. The police said no warning preceded the first explosion, but a caller who claimed to represent ETA had warned police in advance of the other bombs. ETA, formed in the 1950s, has been waging a violent campaign for a Basque homeland since 1968.
