MADRID, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Rescue workers at Madrid's airport have found the body of a second man under rubble left by last Saturday's powerful ETA car bomb, emergency services said on Friday.

A spokesman said the body of Diego Armando Estacio had been found in his car on Thursday evening by workers using a miniature camera. The removal of the body is expected to take several hours.

The two male victims, both Ecuadorean immigrants, were buried under 40,000 tonnes of steel and concrete brought down by the bomb which wrecked a multi-storey car park at the recently opened Terminal Four building.

The other victim, Carlos Alonso Palate, was found on Wednesday. His remains were returned to Ecuador for burial on Thursday.

The deaths, the first perpetrated by ETA since May 2003, came after a nine-month ceasefire. ETA has maintained its violent campaign for a Basque homeland for more than 40 years during which more than 800 people have died.
