Bomb found in Torrevieja hotel
A bomb had been found in a Torrevieja jotel, the Hotel Cano, while it is being refurbished. It is though to have been planted 17 YEARS AGO. In MAy 1991, ETA sent a message that they had planted two bombs in Torrevieja hotels,a nd one in Santa Pola. One of the Torrevieja bombs went off, and the one in Santa Pola did, but the second Torrevieja bomb was never found.. until last week when a plumber found it. The Guardia Civil did search the hotel at the time for some 6 hours, but must have missed it.

Re: Bomb found in Torrevieja hotel
Apparently it was found hidden in the ceiling of the ladies bathroom. The hotel was being refurbished because of a small fire in December, luckily NOT near the bathroom in question or it might have been a bigger fire..
