MADRID, Aug 21 (AFP) - Two bombs exploded Saturday in two Spanish coastal towns, injuring four people, the latest in a series of attacks apparently by the Basque separatist organization ETA to hit tourist spots in the past two weeks.
One of the blasts in the northwestern Galician town of Sanxenxo slightly injured two Spaniards and two Portuguese, according to local officials. The other was detonated in a controlled explosion in the nearby marina of Baiona, which police had evacuated.
A man who described himself as a member of ETA had warned of the imminent explosions in a phone call to the separatist Basque newspaper Gara.
The bombs had been placed inside glass recycling containers.
The blasts took to seven the number of attacks over the past two weeks to hit tourist spots along the northwestern Spanish coast. They have caused some damage and one other injury.
ETA, which has waged a violent three-decade plus campaign for an independent homeland in northern Spain and southern France, has been relatively inactive following a wave of arrests in both countries.
It warned last year that it would hit Spanish economic interests and especially the tourist industry.
ETA has killed more than 800 people in 36 years, but its last fatal attack was in May 2003.
