Separatists Blamed For Bombings In Store

A series of bomb explosions in a crowded department store left one person dead and four injured Saturday - the second bomb in a week linked to a separatist group.

One American was among the injured.

Three bombs exploded in different parts of the store in one hour, authorities said, and two other explosives were discovered in the same store before they detonated.

The explosions took place while leaders of the 15 European Union countries were wrapping up their year-end summit in Madrid.

Security at the summit had been tightened following a Dec. 11 car bomb attack in Madrid that killed six Navy employees and injured more than a dozen.
