Perhaps Spain's PM J.M. Aznar should deal with ETA terrorism in the same way as Israeli PM Sharon deals with Palestinians?? How about Spanish gunships pounding a few Basque villages with laser-guided bombs? i Arriba el Judeofascismo! Wednesday November 7 9:46 PM ET Two Gunmen Kill Judge in Spain By DANIEL WOOLLS, Associated Press Writer MADRID, Spain (AP) - Suspected separatists shot a judge to death in northern Basque country Wednesday, police said, just one day after a Madrid car bombing injured nearly 100 people. The successive attacks, blamed on the Basque group ETA, dashed hopes that the separatists might disarm in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States, following the lead of the Irish Republican Army. More than 800 people have been killed during ETA's 33-year drive for an independent Basque homeland. On Wednesday, provincial judge Jose Maria Lidon Corbi, 50, was shot in the head as he drove out of his garage in Getxo on the outskirts of the Basque port city of Bilbao, police said. His wife was in the car with him and one of their two sons was in another car nearby when at least two people carried out the attack, police said. Earlier reports placed all three in the same car. [...] ETA has not changed a bit since Sept. 11, said Jose Maria Fernandez of Judges for Democracy, a judicial think tank and lobbying group. ``To the contrary, it seems they are more bent than ever on causing pain and destruction,'' he said. In the Basque region's three main cities - Bilbao, Vitoria and San Sebastian - hundreds of people gathered Wednesday evening to protest Lidon's killing. A similar rally was held in Madrid, and more protests have been called for Thursday. In Bilbao demonstrators observed 15 minutes of silence. Afterward, Vidal de Nicolas, president of a Basque peace forum, said ETA is now alone as Europe's only terrorist group, engaged in blind, senseless violence. ``There is no longer any political reflection'' behind ETA's acts, de Nicolas said. ETA broke off a 14-month-old cease-fire in January 2000, saying the peace process was stillborn after a single round of talks. Since then, it has claimed or been blamed for 36 killings, 13 of them this year. Aznar has ruled out more peace talks. The group, whose Basque-language initials stand for Basque Homeland and Freedom, typically targets security force members and politicians in its attacks. dailynews.yahoo.com
