Spain braces for fresh ETA attacks
Daniel Silva
Thu, 07 Jun 2007 Spain braced for fresh attacks by the armed Basque
separatist group ETA on Wednesday, after the movement formally ended a
15-month ceasefire and vowed to resume its battle for an independent state.
ETA, whose four-decade campaign to achieve independence for the northeastern
Basque region of Spain has claimed more than 800 lives, said Tuesday it
would as of midnight "act on all fronts" to campaign for an independent
Basque state.
In a statement sent to two Basque pro-independence newspapers, ETA said it
was ending the ceasefire it declared in March 2006 because the Spanish
government was persecuting the group and its political base instead of
negotiating with it.
