Bomb Kills 3 in Spain
General Francisco Veguillas, director general of defense policy, was killed when the bomb exploded as his car was passing through the Plaza Ramales. His bodyguard and driver also died.
The force of the blast hurled one of the victims onto a nearby balcony. It injured about a dozen people. The injured included members of the Spanish National Dance company which is situated in the plaza, next to the headquarters of the old Royal Guard.
There was no immediate word on who was responsible for the bomb. But guerrillas of the Basque separatist organization ETA have often targeted the military in their 25-year-old struggle for an independent Basque state.
