Nobody was hurt in the blast which took place at the paper's printing plant in the town of Zamudio, Vizcaya.
The Association of Basque journalists and the town hall in Zamudio Vizcaya, have called demonstrations for this morning in protest at the weekend bomb attack carried out by ETA against the premises of the ‘El Correo’ newspaper in the early hours of Sunday. There was no warning.

The device went off as the paper was in production, at its plant in the town of Zamudio, Vizcaya but fortunately nobody was in area of the blast. The production area filled with smoke after the explosion but there were no injuries. Police estimate there were five kilos of explosives in the device.

The paper has printed an editorial saying that the Basque Terrorists ETA would not silence the paper which was the voice for the hundreds of thousands of Basque people who are all demanding the end of ETA.

El Correo is the main newspaper in the Basque region and is owned by the Vocento media group.

Spain’s Interior Minister, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, said after the attack that Spain would always say no to self-determination for the Basque region.
