During the evening of 26 May 1979, a bomb exploded in Madrid, Spain.[1] Its detonation in the basement washroom of the California 47 café killed 10 people, injured another 40 and severely damaged the building.[1] No group claimed responsibility, but the far-left First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups (GRAPO) are believed to have been the perpetrators.[1] Police found a second, unexploded bomb in the café.[1]
