The fallen officers were assigned to the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) units of their respective forces.<\/p>\n<p>It all began the afternoon before, when the perpetrators of the attack hijacked a taxi at gunpoint in Amorebieta, abandoning its owner tied to a tree near Lezama, just a few kilometers from Sondika airport. He was rescued at midnight by Ertzaintza officers. The discovery of the taxi driver led to a search for the vehicle, and police became suspicious when they found it near the Peugeot dealership in Zorroza. In order to draw the attention of the state security forces, the terrorists had previously planted a low-powered explosive device at the dealership. Once the first device exploded and the stolen taxi was located, police immediately closed off traffic on Fray Juan Street, an urban section of the road connecting downtown Bilbao with towns along the left bank of the Nervi\u00f3n River.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before 6:00 a.m., the TEDAX bomb squad began its work, after evacuating about 500 residents from the area, who gathered anxiously behind the police cordon, a hundred meters from the vehicle. According to newspapers of the time, sources from the Civil Government of Vizcaya confirmed that the specialists waited about half an hour before acting, in case the explosion at the dealership had affected the charge inside the taxi. They then placed two countermeasures: one to open the trunk and another to disable part of the device\u2019s mechanism before approaching the car. Once there, due to the lack of space making it impossible to work on the explosive, the officers began manually removing bags and a container\u2014at which point the bomb detonated, injuring eleven others as well.<\/p>\n<p>The three police officers were blown to pieces by the explosion, which was caused by a canister containing twenty kilos of amonal, forty kilos of shrapnel, and a penthrite-based booster. The attack was meticulously planned by the terrorist organization to hinder the deactivation process and ensure casualties.<\/p>\n<p>The remains of the three victims, along with the blast wave that injured eleven people, were scattered over a radius of more than 50 meters, creating horrifying scenes for the gathered residents who had been waiting for the operation to be completed. Some witnesses recounted how glass shards from nearby buildings and human remains rained down on them. The bomb was so powerful that firefighters had to climb onto the roof of a two-story building to clear it of victims\u2019 remains.<\/p>\n<p>All political parties, except for Herri Batasuna (now identified as EH Bildu), condemned the terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2025, the widow and children of Manuel J\u00f3dar Cabrera, forever marked by their loss like all victims, recount what happened with deep sorrow, aiming only to ensure that future generations learn from these events. The shedding of blood will never be justified and will serve no purpose other than to bring pain and shame to the society that endures it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Press<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"evc-image-gallery evc-shortcode evc-element-has-columns prensa-v evc-ig-grid-type evc-one-columns evc-normal-space  \">\n\t<div class=\"evc-ig-wrapper evc-element-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image-item evc-element-item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1378\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/mapadelterror.com\/contenido\/uploads\/Manuel-Jodar-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image-item evc-element-item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1668\" height=\"1671\" src=\"https:\/\/mapadelterror.com\/contenido\/uploads\/Manuel-Jodar-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image-item evc-element-item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1668\" height=\"1518\" src=\"https:\/\/mapadelterror.com\/contenido\/uploads\/Manuel-Jodar-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image-item evc-element-item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evc-ig-image \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1382\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/mapadelterror.com\/contenido\/uploads\/Manuel-Jodar-4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":45755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_promoted":"","_job_location":"Zorrozgoitibidea, 4, 48013 Bilbao, Bizkaia, Espa\u00f1a","_company_website":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job-categories":[193],"job-types":[],"job_listing_amenity":[],"job_listing_region":[61],"job_listing_tag":[],"class_list":["post-26792","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","job_listing_category-eta-en","job_listing_region-espana","edad-30-a-39-anos-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Manuel Jodar Cabrera - Mapa del terror<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mapadelterror.com\/en\/victims\/manuel-jodar-cabrera\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Manuel Jodar Cabrera - Mapa del terror\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Description [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At 8:10 a.m. on May 24, 1989, ETA murdered National Police officers Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda S\u00e1nchez Garc\u00eda (34 years old) and Manuel J\u00f3dar Cabrera (35 years old), along with Ertzaintza officer Lu\u00eds Hortelano Garc\u00eda (33 years old), in a car bomb attack in Bilbao.
