More on ETA
Description from Wikipedia:
Euskadi Ta Askatasuna or ETA (Basque for "Basque Homeland and Freedom"; pronounced: /ˈɛːta/), is an illegal armed Basque nationalist separatist organisation. Founded in 1959, it evolved from a group advocating traditional cultural ways to an armed group demanding Basque independence.
According to official figures and ETA communiqués, since 1968 ETA has killed over 800 people and maimed hundreds more. It has committed dozens of kidnappings over this period as well. The group is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by both the Spanish and French authorities as well as the European Union as a whole, and the United States. More than 700 members of the organisation are incarcerated in prisons in Spain, France, and other countries.
Most formulations of ETA's goals have centred on sovereignty and self-determination for the Basque Country from a Marxist-Leninist interpretation.
ETA's motto is Bietan jarrai ("Keep up on both"). This refers to the two figures in its symbol, a snake (representing politics) wrapped around an axe (representing armed fight).
