Right you are, Javier. Those supposedly "Basque nationalist" bombings in Spain recently really are cowardly acts. They precisely are not part of any (just) 'class war' but are (in one way or another) all about money, as you say. And your parallel to that "Albanian" terrorist group "UÇK" managed by the US imperialists also is pertinent. In fact one must suspect that behind those "Basque" bombings too, in the final instance, are those same US imperialists, wanting to put some pressure on that "uncertain ally" of theirs, Spain.
