| TERRORIST movement ETA has publicly admitted responsibility for three bombings which left 65 injured and three police officers dead.
In a press release published in Basque newspaper Gara, the separatist group confessed to the car-bombing in Arrigorriaga (Bilbao) which deliberately targeted Guardia Civil officer Eduardo Puelles, who perished in the flames.
They also said they had left a van full of explosives parked for more than half a day outside the residential block of the Guardia Civil station in Burgos on July 29 before setting them off, leading to 65 people – including a pregnant woman – being hospitalised.
Finally, ETA has admitted to implanting a bomb in a police car in Palmanova, Mallorca, on July 30, which killed policemen Carlos Sáenz de Tejada and Diego Salvá.
The terrorists say that despite the attacks they ‘do not want to impose any plans’ but that they are seeking ‘dialogue and a political solution’.
They also said in their press release that they are ‘indignant’ that the PNV and NaBai parties have made a public declaration supporting the Guardia Civil force in the face of the recent bombings.
