In pictures: Madrid car bomb
More than 60 people were hurt when a car bomb exploded near central Madrid in the morning rush hour. The Basque separatist group ETA is being blamed, and may have been targeting a government minister whose car was passing - he escaped with cuts and bruises.
 The force of the blast reduced vehicles to tangled metal
 Smoke and flames continued to pour from the wreckage
 The shocked and injured were led away
 Others had to be carried away by stretcher
 The intended target may have been a senior government figure, Juan Junquera, whose car was seconds away
 More than a dozen vehicles were caught up in the blast
