A bomb on the resort island of Majorca killed two police officers, the second attack blamed on Basque separatist group ETA in as many days.

Police carried out a controlled explosion on a second bomb. Authorities temporarily blocked all outgoing flights and ships from Majorca.

Less than 36 hours earlier, a car bomb destroyed a police barracks in the northern Spanish city of Burgos, injuring about 60 people.
