This is bad......

This is pretty scary to me.
Sounds very coordinated.

Yup, looks like the ETA is up to their old tricks.

Yeah that is pretty scary. Whenever I read about something like this, I imagine it happening where I live, and it freaks me out.
Then I remember I live in Canberra, Australia, no one cares about Australia, let alone know that Canberra's the capital.

Edit: oh yeah, I'm not too hip with Terrorist lingo. Who exactly are the ETA (where are they, what does ETA stand for, etc)?

 

[Drosselmeier]

It´s a militaristic Basque separatist party.

EDIT: The Basque language has no relation to any other european language and very few people speak it. Their name is in basque so I really have no idea what it stands for in full... The first word is "euskadi" which means basque, that´s all I know.

Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA) means Basque Homeland (Fatherland) and Liberty if you cared to know, Dross.

 

[Drosselmeier]

Thanks Mac. Does it literally mean fatherland or did you throw that in there for effect?

 

[maccool]

It can be translated either way as far as I know. Like Rodinia can mean homeland or motherland in Russian.

cool, thanks chums. You learn something everyday.
