Tour de France targeted...Blasts Detonated!

A World reknown bike race, Tour de France was the target of multiple blast attacks by the ETA

ETA has staged similar minor attacks coinciding with the Tour in what Spanish officials have described as attempts to use one of the world's top sporting events to draw attention to the group's drive for an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southwest France.

The ETA are a relatively new party but not new to International borders as Spain can attest to, regarding the terminated peace talks with this group.

FULL STORY


This race is in its' 17th stage at present, and up to this point, there hasn't occurred any 'determental' events such as this.

Spain has since beefed up its' security and it's probably safe to say that France is going to be on the alert as well.
