Travel chaos after Majorca bomb

A car bombing in the Spanish island of Majorca has killed two Civil Guard officers and led to ports and airports being shut for several hours.

Thousands of tourists were affected as some flights were turned back or diverted to other Spanish islands.

Spain said the blockade was meant to "prevent the terrorists from fleeing".

The bomb blast, in Palmanova, comes only a day after a similar attack at a barracks in Burgos, northern Spain, left 46 people injured.

The government has blamed both on the Basque separatist group Eta.

The group has been held responsible for more than 820 deaths during its decades-long campaign for an independent homeland in Spain's Basque region.

The bombs come ahead of the 50th anniversary of Eta's founding, on Friday.

Not good for Spain's tourist industry....

more senseless deaths.
