Basque Fatherland and Liberty, commonly known as
ETA (from their Basque name
Euzkadi Ta Askatasuna), is a
terrorist group operating in
Spain which was founded in
1959. They are a separatist group seeking an independent
Basque homeland in the Spanish provinces of Vizcaya
?, Guipuzcoa
?, Alava
?, and Navarra
?, as well as in provinces of south-western
France.
Because of its allegiance to Marxist ideas, ETA has been sponsored by communist regimes such as Cuba, as well as by Libya and Lebanon.
ETA employs bombings and assassinations, and has killed an estimated 800 people since the 1960s. It finances its operations through kidnapping, extortion, and robbery.
