ETA as everyone knows broke its March 22nd 2006 ceasefire for the Spanish state when it murdered 2 Ecuadorian migrants in Madrid's airport on the 31st of that year.

However, many might not know that on the 18th of February 2004, ETA declared a ceasefire for the Catalan territories. It was a cynical exercise and dismissed by most except for the most resolute and radical supporter of complete Catalan independence for the territories of current Catalonia, Valencia, French Catalagne & the Balearic islands. Especially when that ceasefire was subject to a further declaration that "military targets" would be entertained in "paisos catalanes".

This summer ETA killed 2 soldiers in Mallorca- (were those two murders somehow legitimate targets?) But today they detonated 3 bombs in bars. = civilian targets.

ETA has detonated 3 bombs throughout today in civilian bars in Mallorca

Perhaps someone will try and explain it all to us with snide references to the King of Spain's holiday home in the Balearic islands or the recent attack on a Welsh teenager which left him in a coma.
