At least two explosions hit the Atocha railway station in central Madrid Thursday morning, killing several people, Spanish TV reported.

Basque Homeland and Freedom (ETA) separatists were believed to be behind the blasts, the report said.

The explosions took place three days before a Spanish election that has focused on the ruling Popular Party's tough line against the ETA.

Police said at least three were killed in the blasts that hit packed trains during the morning rush hour.
