bbc news 21st October 2011


The Basque separatist group Eta says it has called a "definitive cessation" to its campaign of bombings and shootings.

In a statement provided to the BBC, "Eta has decided on the definitive cessation of its armed activity. Eta makes a call to the governments of Spain and France to open a process of direct dialogue which has as its aim the resolution of the consequences of the conflict and thus the conclusion of the armed conflict. With this historic declaration, Eta demonstrates its clear, firm and definitive purpose."

The declaration, if followed through, would bring an end to Eta's campaign of violence, which has lasted more than 40 years and killed more than 800 people.






I think that ETA it's a dangerous terrorist group, and the political had to breack down it a few years ago. The disappearance of the band it's a very important think in SPain, because ETA were the most terrorist group and it killed lots of people. I think it's a good new and a good event for Spain.
