ETA is a Basque 'separatist' organization which demands an independent homeland for the Basque people.
You can google "Basque" for more information on their rather unique culture and language as well as the primary location of the ethnic group.

ETA is a gang of criminals created by the Basque Catholic Church in the 1960´s to fight for the "independence" of the never independent before Basque country.
They could not wait to Franco's death as the rest of Spaniards.
ETA has survived setting its infrastructure in France, country that did not really tackled them until 1986, after members of the Socialist Party had set death squads that operated in Southern France, known as the GAL.
ETA is today an organization that hides its main task of carrying out extortion, as any other Mafia, (estimated 6 million euro profit in the last months) behind political ends.
ETA has wide indirect support in the Basque country due to the economic privileges the citizens of that Spanish region obtain from the National government, among others, a completely independent Taxation system.
ETA tried to kill right wing leader Aznar in 1995. Aznar cornered ETA twice once in each of his two terms. American intelligence information seems to have been critical.
However, 3/11 changed all this.
ETA was implicated in the operations surrounding that attack, although the direct planting of the bombs is still undisclosed.
ETA, along with the Spanish Socialist Party, were the main beneficiaries of 3/11 (both organizations forced to dissapear if not). They have acted coordinatelly after the massacre.
They have called this "Peace process". International MSM have supported the lie.
