Terrorist Group Blamed for Bomb in Spain

The ETA, a terrorist group in the Basque region of Spain, was blamed by police for a bombing a little over a week ago. The story is written by Madrid Bureau Chief Al Goodman, working for CNN. Goodman does a great job of giving the facts. A story like this shouldn't be too difficult to tell considering that it is pretty obvious who the good and bad guys are in this story.

The best thing the journalist did was give a very detailed history of the violence the ETA has done. Sometimes I feel as though journalists assume we should know everything about a topic when there is just so much to know.

Spain has internal problems it really needs to work on. This terrorist group is fighting for independance in the northern region of Spain. This is just not safe for the people of Spain, though no one was hurt in this bombing.
