Madrid - The militant Basque separatist group ETA on Sunday claimed responsibility for several recent bombings in Spain, including an attack on the island of Majorca in which two police officers were killed.

In a statement released to the Basque daily Gara, the group said it had carried out the car bomb attack on July 30 in the resort town of Palmanova in Majorca.

ETA also claimed responsibility for a similar attack outside a police barracks in the northern city of Burgos on July 29 that left 65 people lightly injured.

The bomb attack in the Basque town of Arrigorriaga that killed a policeman was also the work of its operatives, the group said.

The most recent bombings coincided with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the group which seeks a sovereign Basque state created out of northern Spain and southern France.

ETA is listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union and the United States and blamed for more than 820 deaths since 1968.(dpa)
