The Basque militant group ETA is announcing that it has "completely dissolved all its structures," in a letter sent to Basque institutions and civil society groups. A municipal worker paints over graffiti reading 'ETA, The People Are With You' in Guernica, Spain, on Oct. 21, 2011, the day after Basque separatist group ETA announced a definitive cessation of armed activity. In all, the group killed 853 people over four decades, according to a tally by the Spanish interior ministry. Masked members of the Basque separatist group ETA raise their fists in unison following a news conference at an undisclosed location, in a file image made from video provided on Oct. 20, 2011. "This is not the end of ETA we wanted and, above all, is not the end of ETA we deserved," she said.
