Terrorist Attack in Spain, ETA Claims Responsibility
Saturday December 30, 2006
The Basque separatist group ETA has claimed responsibility for a car bomb set off in a Madrid airport garage that has injured 19 people.
The bombing ends what was intended to be a permanent cease-fire between the Spanish government and ETA ("Basque Homeland and Freedom"), which has used terrorist tactics since its 1960s beginnings, in its quest for autonomy in the Basque region of Spain. The cease fire was declared in March 2006.
