STEPHEN FRAZIER, CNN ANCHOR: Now to Northeast Spain, where hundreds of people turned out today to protest a pair of deadly bombings this weekend. Those bomb attacks are the work of Basque terrorists, part of their decades old campaign for separate homeland. CNN's Al Goodman reports from Madrid.</s>AL GOODMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A night of deadly fire in Spain. Police blame the Basque separatist group ETA for two car bombs. The first bomb exploded late Saturday, killing a police officer and wounding three people, provoking panic in the peaceful resort town of Roses on the Spanish Mediterranean coast near the French border. There was a warning call before the bomb to a Basque newspaper, "Gara," where ETA published communiques about its long fight for Basque independence, a fight blamed for about 800 deaths, including five this year. There was also a warning call to the same newspaper about the second car bomb. Police did a controlled explosion of it before dawn Sunday in the southeastern resort town of Gandia, hundreds of kilometers south of the first blast. The second bomb destroyed five cars and damaged 15 others, but there were no injuries because police evacuated hundreds of people from their homes and restaurants. The attacks came as the campaign heated up for early elections in may for the Basque regional parliament. On Saturday, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar was in the Northern Basque region to present his conservative candidate for the Basque presidency. Aznar has taken a hard line against the separatist violence and Basque nationalists who currently run the Basque government. Spain is watching closely to see whether the Basque elections inflame or ease the violence. Al Goodman, CNN, Madrid.
