ETA has killed again. A gunman murdered the chief of the municipal police in Andoain, near San Sebastián. The victim, Joseba Pagazaurtundia, was shot three times this morning in a café. Andoain is governed by a Batasuna mayor; Batasuna or whatever it's calling itself now is the political arm of ETA. The town has the reputation of being a refuge for etarras and such undesirables, and it is one of the centers of the kale borroka, vandalism and street-fighting carried out by pro-ETA youth gangs. They bravely held a demonstration in Andoain this afternoon with the slogan "ETA ez--ETA no." Not nearly enough people showed up and some of those who did looked a bit scared, as if they were in enemy territory. They had an anti-ETA demo at one of the universities and some people showed up in ski-masks. The gunman is thought to be a member of a refounded commando Donosti, Donostia cell. These cells have had the pattern, recently, of pulling off a couple of jobs before being caught within about two weeks. The police chief's murder was the first of a string of two or three that we will see before these scumballs get busted or, hopefully, killed. "Basque Homeland and Liberty", my ass.

I really hate the ETA.
