| ETA claims credit for attacks in Spain |
| 2001-10-28 |
MADRID, Spain (AP) - The outlawed separatist group ETA claimed responsibility on Sunday for 11 recent attacks in Spain while tentatively holding out an olive branch by maintaining that the long-running Basque conflict could be resolved "simply by letting the people decide.'' The statement, published by the Basque pro-independence newspaper Gara less then a week after the IRA declared it was destroying its weapons, suggested that ETA felt under pressure to offer a way out of the bloody separatist conflict in northern Spain. They got an anonymous letter. It said, "Mene mene tekel upharsin." |
