Three bomb-blasts hit Majorca


Three bombs have exploded on the Spanish island of Majorca, but it's not thought anyone has been hurt.
The blasts all happened in Palma-de-Majorca on Sunday, on the island which is popular with British tourists.

It's thought a group called Eta is behind the bombs. Eta is a terrorist group which wants part of France and Spain to be an independent country.

It's been behind a number of attacks in recent months, and is thought to be marking its 50th anniversary.

Eta has been blamed for more than 820 deaths since it was founded in 1959.

Sunday's blasts went off in a bar, a restaurant and a square. It's thought the bombs were all relatively small.
