It certainly took them a while:

Rescue workers Wednesday found the remains of a man in the rubble of last weekend’s Madrid airport blast, making him the first fatality in more than three years in an attack by the Basque separatist group ETA, the Interior Ministry told CNN.

The remains of Ecuadorean immigrant Carlos Alonso Palate were located in a car in the heavily damaged parking garage at Madrid Barajas Airport’s Terminal 4, where an ETA van bomb exploded Saturday. They had not yet been removed.

The Socialist government Tuesday said the blast “broke, finished and liquidated” a nine-month-old cease-fire that ETA last March had promised would be “permanent,” raising hopes for an end to nearly 40 years of ETA attacks blamed for more than 800 deaths and thousands of injuries.
