The coordinated operations don't necessarily mean ETA is back at full strength. Spain's Interior Minister José Antonio Alonso said ETA probably used two separate itinerant "commandos" to plant the devices, and "they wouldn't need a great infrastructure to carry out acts of this kind."

...omens haven't been good. Schumacher was set to direct Phantom in 1990, with the stage show's original stars Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman, who was then married to Lloyd Webber. When they divorced, the film fell apart, and despite rumors casting various stars in the main roles - Antonio Banderas, John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, Keira Knightly - Warner Bros., which held the screen rights, dithered.
