MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Spanish police have deactivated a powerful bomb in a Pamplona hotel they say was placed by the Basque separatist group ETA.

The hotel was filled with visitors attending the annual San Fermin Fiesta which includes the famed running of the bulls, authorities said. No one was injured.

Police evacuated the 138-room Hotel Maisonnave and nearby apartment buildings after receiving a phone call on Sunday warning them of the bomb. They found the 4 kilogram explosive device in a women's bathroom at the hotel, a government statement said.

Police traced the call to a phone booth in the city of Estella, the statement said.

The hotel resumed normal operations Sunday evening.

I bet the Spanish government is glad they don't have * "on the trail of the evil doers."

2. The ETA have a beef also.

Much like the IRA. They just want to be left alone and govern themselves. They have been promised and promised, yet it never happens.
