Description

On 30 December 2006, ETA planted a van bomb containing 200 kilograms of explosives in the Terminal 4 car park of Barajas airport. The organisation, which had officially declared a cease fire, gave a warning and the area was cleared. However, the powerful explosion killed two Ecuadorian citizens who had been resting in their vehicles. It also caused major structural damage to the building.

Diego Armando Estacio had gone to the airport with his girlfriend to meet her mother, who was flying in that day. While his girlfriend went to the terminal building, Diego stayed in the car. He was 19 years old and his body was not found by firefighters until a week after the attack.
