On 30 October 2000, the separatist Basque organization ETA detonated a large car bomb on Badajoz Avenue in Madrid, Spain.[1] The blast killed three people;[2] a Spanish Supreme Court judge, Francisco Querol Lombardero, his driver, and his bodyguard.[3] One of the injured, a bus driver, died from his injuries days later. Sixty-four people were wounded.[4] It was the deadliest attack since the ETA called off its ceasefire in December 1999 and one of numerous attacks in Madrid.[5]
