Madrid (dpa) – A bomb exploded in north-western Spain early
Wednesday, but no one was injured, regional officials said as they
attributed the attack to a group of radical separatists.

The bomb was placed in the main entrance to the town hall of Baralla,
a small village in the region of Galicia. The explosion caused
significant damage to the building and nearby houses.

No one claimed responsibility for the attack, but security forces are
working under the assumption that it was carried out by the Galician
Resistance separatist group.

“This is the modus operandi of the terrorist group Galician
Resistance,” said Samuel Juarez, the region‘s government delegate,
adding that a separate trial against three members of the group
begins next week.

The same group is thought to be responsible for a similar explosion
at a Francoist town hall in the town of Beade.

Baralla‘s mayor, a member of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy‘s People‘s
Party, was criticized recently for statements justifying violence
committed under the Francisco Franco regime, which ended in 1975.
