Spain: Thousands Protest ETA Killing

Tens of thousands of people marched in Bilbao to protest the killing of a police investigator June 19 by the Basque separatist group ETA. The public outrage in the Basque region over the death of the officer, who headed an anti-terror unit, suggests that ETA’s violent tactics have little support among the populace it claims to represent. In May, two ETA members were quoted in a Basque newspaper of threatening a campaign of violence before the summer against tourists and Britons seeking second homes in the region, but thus far no such violence has occurred.
