Small Bomb Explodes on Tour de France Route in Spain

Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - Tour de France

(AP) MADRID, Spain — At least one small explosive device detonated Wednesday in northern Spain along a route used by the Tour de France cycling race, the Spanish Interior Ministry said.

Spanish media said the blast or blasts were preceded by a call in the name of the Basque separatist group ETA, but the ministry said it could not confirm this.

It said the blast occurred in the town of Belagua in the Navarra region. The race's itinerary took it into Spain Wednesday.

The ministry said it had no other information. The newspaper El Pais said there were no injuries. Two devices exploded on small bluffs overlooking the road used for the Tour, it said.

The national news agency Efe quoted unnamed officials as saying the devices exploded after a caravan of Tour-related publicity vehicles had passed by. This caravan precedes the riders, but it. The race's route was not changed, the officials told Efe.
