Two small bombs blamed on Basque separatist group ETA exploded yesterday in downtown locations on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca, causing no injuries, the government said. Police defused a third device found nearby.

One bomb exploded in La Rigoleta restaurant on the Can Pere Antoni beachfront in Palma de Mallorca and the second in an underground passage at the central Plaza Mayor square, the government said. Officers deactivated a bomb left at Bar Enco.

Earlier Sunday, ETA claimed responsibility for four other bombings this summer that killed three people - including the two police officers killed in Mallorca on July 30 - and injured dozens more.
