ETA gives the police 30 minutes notice normally to a newspaper or news agency. It is not like it is 2 or 3 hours! 30 minutes from the time of the phone call until you can respond and evacuate does not leave a lot of time. ETA is also vague sometimes when it comes to disclosing the location of the bombs. Can't blame the police most of the time. Don't give ETA one bit of credit as "Humane" for giving notice.......a 5 year old girl was injured in the last series of bombs........The only statement that made was that they are in fact a INHUMANE terrorist organization.
