Car Bomb, Guardia Civil, Palma Nova, Mallorca. A car bomb on the Spanish holiday island of Mallorca killed two police officers on Thursday, in what authorities called the second major attack by the Basque separatist rebel group ETA in two days. The bomb exploded outside offices run by the Civil Guard paramilitary police in Palmanova, at about 1.50 p.m. (1150 GMT).
Spanish authorities immediately closed all ports and airports on the island to prevent the bombers' escape, a move the government called "Operation Cage" in a news release. The closure, in peak holiday season, could not hit at a worse time for the island's tourist-based economy.
Security forces believe ETA, weakened by arrests of top leaders, and long relatively dormant, is trying to put on a show of force to prove it is still able to strike at the Spanish state and to maintain morale among its supporters.

  • i thought i was going to be stranded in majorca ! it was terrible. just the day i was leaving another hotel next to mine was evaccuated

  • ETA se rie del estado español cuando coló una furgoneta bomba en el mismo parking de el cuartel de la Guardia Civil y 32 horas más tarde en la otra punta del mapa, concretamente en Mayorca matan a dos Guardia Civiles y luego los politicos dicen que ETA esta más acabada que nunca y nos leen el mismo discurso de los ultimos 30 años..tristemente la solución del conflicto vasco no interesa a los gobiernos mientras no saquen redito electoral.
