ETA attack in Pamplona, Spain

I sent this via email to a few of you, but I'll post it here for anyone else who is interested.

You may have seen on the news this morning that a car bomb exploded on a university campus in Pamplona, Spain, injuring 27 people. Here is the link to the CNN article:

I just wanted to assure everyone that this is nowhere close to where I am, and it was likely the work of ETA terrorist group who is trying to get independence for the Basque region from Spain. This group is not active in or around Barcelona, as they are a separatist group in a different region of Spain. There is no cause for alarm :)

On a happier note, I am looking forward to a BCA-organized trip tomorrow to Figueres and Girona. One of the highlights will no-doubt be seeing the Salvador Dali Museum. Another blog post will surely follow that trip!
