A Spanish civil guard has been killed and another badly wounded after being shot by suspected members of the Basque separatist group ETA in south-western France.
The two plainsclothes civil guard officers were in Capbreton, France, taking part in a joint surveillance operation with French police against ETA, which traditionally uses France as a base for its attacks in Spain. The civil guards were shot as they emerged from a place where they regularly have breakfast. Raul Centeno died and Fernando Trapero was seriously injured. Three ETA suspects fled in a car, later leaving it to commandeer a second car. They held a French woman and her son, but quickly released them.
It is the first fatality blamed on ETA in nearly a year. The separatist group claimed responsibility for a December 30, 2006, car bomb at a Madrid airport that killed two men and destroyed a parking garage.
This incident comes a day after mora than 50 basques (journalists, writers, ecologists, teachers, lawyers and other profesionals) were imprisoned by the Spanish police accused of support ETA's independestist ideas.
