MADRID (AFP) -- Basque separatist group ETA claimed responsibility for 10 recent attacks in Spain and vowed to keep up its armed fight for an independent Basque homeland until the Spanish government resumes negotiations.

""The resistance will continue as long as the rights of Euskal Herria are not recognized and respected,"" the group said in a statement published in the online edition of pro-independence Basque newspaper Gara, using the Basque language name for the Basque Country.
""They will sit down again. We will make them sit down again to recognize the rights of Euskal Herria once and for all,"" it added.
The rebels said they were behind a car bombing last week at a university campus in Pamplona that injured 17 people and another car bombing outside a military academy in the town of Santona in September that killed a soldier.
The 10 attacks which ETA claimed responsibility for in the statement had already been blamed by the authorities on the group, which has killed more than 820 people in its 40-year campaign for independence for Basque territories in northern Spain and southern France.
ETA called off a 15-month-old ceasefire in June last year, saying it had grown tired of a lack of concessions on the part of the socialist government of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in their tentative peace talks.
That truce had effectively ended when ETA bombed a Madrid airport car park in December 2006, killing two Ecuadorian men who were sleeping in their cars.
Since officially calling off its ceasefire, the group has been responsible for a total of five deaths, including three Spanish security officers, a former Basque socialist official and the soldier killed in Santona.
Security analysts say ETA has been seriously weakened by the arrest of hundreds of members and their supporters over the last decade.
Zapatero has repeatedly ruled out any further talks with the group, which is considered a terrorist organization by the European Union and the United States.
""ETA will grow weaker and weaker with a loss of social backing from this Basque nationalist segment that is always key. It will be a step-by-step end,"" he said in an interview published in August in daily newspaper El Mundo.
