SPAIN'S civil guard, on national alert after Basque separatists called off a ceasefire, said it had found a car packed with explosives near seaside resorts next to the border with Portugal.
Spanish media said the civil guard found 100kg of explosives as well as detonators inside the abandoned car, though a military police spokesman in Madrid refused to confirm the quantity.
The find in Ayamonte, 200km west of Seville, comes just over two weeks after the Basque separatist ETA organisation formally called off a 14-month-old ceasefire. Police made their find after a tip off, media reported.
The car bore false Portuguese number plates and police officers found a bomb-making manual written in Basque, media said, adding that the explosives were not primed to detonate.
