Suspicion that the attack was perpetrated with the help of Balearic nationalists

Police are no closer to establishing who was behind the bomb attack on Thursday that killed two members of the Civil Guard. Although the main suspects remain Eta, terrorism experts in Palma are concentrating their efforts on investigating a number of radical groups on the Balearics.

The groups under suspicion, comprised mostly of young radicals, are linked to Catalan independence organisations. “We don’t believe these groups collaborated, at least consciously, with the terrorist group that attacked Mallorca – but you never know,” a terrorism expert told the Diario de Mallorca.

Last January several followers of the football club Atletico Balears were arrested and their homes searched. The home of one of them was found to contain correspondence with Eta terrorists in which the two agreed that they shared some common ideologies.
