BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - Simultaneous explosions occurred overnight
in two towns in the southwest of France near the Spanish border, causing
some damage to buildings but no casualties, a police source said on
Thursday.
No-one has claimed responsibility for the blasts, which occurred at
around 1900 GMT on Wednesday in Ciboure and Saint-Jean-de Luz. A third
device in the town of Guethary did not go off, contrary to previous
information from the same source.
An anonymous telephone call alerted the fire brigade to the three
devices one hour before the explosions but they were not found in time.
Windows were shattered at an estate agent in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and an
apartment being built in Ciboure was completely destroyed and three
others were damaged.
