Cease-fireIn March 2006, ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) renounced violence, effective Friday the 24th. | |
Yesterday ETA, the Basque separatist group, made an offer of peace to the Spanish government.
They asked for independence in return, which was always their goal; but they're trying to talk new talks.
ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) claimed 11 attacks since June 25. this is consistent with my impression while I was in Spain, that they were killing about once a week. These people are vicious and clinical, usually car-bombing, and killing in some cases without much tactical sense. (Once, it was a well-liked cook at a restaurant where somebody ETA didn't like used to eat.)
Bad motherf*ckers. I think it interesting that to at least an extent they are being flushed out. There have indeed been some recent arrests of some of their operatives.
