**The Basque separatist group, Eta, has claimed responsibility for a series of recent bombings in Spain, including one which killed two Civil Guards in July.**In a statement sent to the Basque newspaper, Gara, Eta said it was also behind a car bomb attack which killed a police inspector two months ago.
It said the policeman, Eduardo Puelles Garcia, was a “despicable torturer”.
Eta has been blamed for more than 820 deaths during its campaign for an independent Basque homeland in Spain.
The most recent bombings, in Majorca and the northern town of Burgos, came ahead of the 50th anniversary of its founding.
