On June 27, 1960, Jesusa Ibarrola wanted to buy shoes for her 20-month-old daughter Begoña. She left the child in the care of her aunt Soledad, who was working in the locker room of the Amara train station. But a bomb exploded and Begoña died a few hours later. The Francoist authorities said that it had been a terrorist attack, but they never informed about the identity of the perpetrators. No arrests were made and no one was brought to trial. The case remained unsolved and fell into oblivion.
