Militant group responsible for more than 800 deaths says it has ‘dissolved all its structures’The Basque separatist group Eta, which killed more than 800 people during its 40-year terror campaign, has announced its full dissolution days after apologising to its victims and their families. “Eta has decided to declare an end to its historical cycle and its role, thereby bringing its path to an end,” said the letter, which was obtained by eldiario.es. “But it does not bring an end to the conflict between the Basque homeland and Spain and France. Its aim was the establishment of an independent Basque state in northern Spain and southern France. The group also targeted state security forces and in 1973 assassinated the Spanish prime minister Luis Carrero Blanco with huge car bomb.
