A retired Spanish air force general was shot to death and a bomb exploded in central Madrid, injuring two people. Retired Brig. Gen. Luis Azcarraga Perez-Caballero, 81, was shot three times in the head by two men who approached him as he left a church in Salvatierra, near the Basque city of Vitoria, about 100 miles north of Madrid. The bomb blast outside an office building in Madrid shattered glass, injuring two women passers-by. No one claimed responsibility for either attack, but officials blamed both incidents on the Basque separatist group ETA, which seeks independence for the three-province Basque region of Spain.
