After truce, ETA now says it’s ready to end violence
The Basque extremist group ETA said Thursday it was ready to call an end to a 43-year violent campaign for independence and said it wanted to begin talks with Spain and France - a move that could pave the way for ending Europe's last armed militancy.
ETA had already declared a cease-fire last year - one of nearly a dozen over the years - but until now had not renounced armed struggle as a tool for achieving an independent Basque state, a key demand by the Spanish government.
