Foreign office warns of high threat from terrorism in Spain

    After the last Eta bombings in Malaga; one small device which exploded on the beach in Guadalmar and another that went off at the marina in Benalmadena plus a third which was found unexploded beside the M21 motorway between Torremolinos and Malaga, the Foreign Office in the U.K. has issued a statement categorising the terrorist threat in Spain as high. The advice, which is aimed at British travelling abroad and expatriates, goes on to add that attacks could be indiscriminate and that Spanish authorities are fully aware of the impact of terrorism and are taking measures to protect visitors although disruptions from real or hoax terror attempts can be expected. It advises people to follow the instructions of the local police and other authorities and that a high level of alert is being maintained after the Malaga bombs, travellers to Andalucia are told to remain alert and vigilant.
