No one immediately claimed responsibility for the shooting, but local media and politicians blamed the armed separatist group ETA, which has killed nearly 800 people since 1968 in its campaign for Basque independence from Spain. Jesus Maria Pedrosa, 57, who had reportedly received death threats recently, was shot with one bullet in the head. He was a member of the Popular Party and an alderman in the town of Durango in the northern Basque province of Vizcaya. Residents in the area heard one bullet, followed by a scream, according to national television TVE. One resident said he ran into the street to see a young man fleeing. An hour after the shooting, Pedrosa's body lay covered in a sheet in a small Durango street as police combed the area. Politicians nationwide repeated condemnations of ETA. "I am at a loss for words to express my fury," said Maximo Dia Cano, spokesman for the opposition Socialist Party. "This has to end. The murderers must see that we are united." -- Kathleen If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they donÆt have to worry about the answers. ----Thomas Pynchon, GravityÆs Rainbow <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
