ETA = Death

In the wee hours of yesterday morning, a Citroen was parked outside the Civil Guard barracks at Legutiano, Álava. Inside the barracks were 40 people. Inside the van was a bomb which would kill one Civil Guard and injure four others. The terrorists behind this killing - 2 members of the ETA - escaped into the pre-dawn darkness.

No warning was given for the impending attack.

This morning, the funeral was held for husband and father of one, 41-year old José Manuel Piñuel. He had just been stationed in the Basque region two months ago.

I hate pinheads. I especially hate pinheads with bombs. And blowing up young parents doesn't make pinhead ideology any more worthy. Or persuasive.
