ETA

Euskadi Ta Askatasuna; an organization of militant Basque nationalists attempting to gain independence for the Basques, especially those ruled by Spain, until a cease-fire in 1998, by means of guerrilla warfare.

The ETA was organized in 1959 by student activists who were dissatisfied with the moderate nationalism of the traditional Basque party; want to create an independent homeland in Spain's western Pyrenees; "in 1968 ETA launched a campaign of political assassinations of government officials."
