Eta's founder calls for end to random attacks

Article Abstract:

Any people unjustly attacked by another have every right to defend themselves with any measures available to them, according to Iulen de Madariaga, who founded Basque separatist group Eta in the 1950s. However, he broke from Eta in the late 1980s, feeling that armed Basque separatists were undertaking counter-productive operations. He emphasizes that Eta did not begin as a military organization, and believes that Eta was wrong to kidnap and kill conservative local politician Miguel Angel Blanco in 1997.
