cristina68 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Sorry to bother you with this but I need to talk about what we are going through in Spain today. This morning, ETA, a paralimilitary and terrorist Basque nationalist separatist organization that has been claiming indendence for an area in the North of Spain known as "the Basque country" since the 60´s has commited a terrorist attack by murdering in cold blood an old politic that used to work for his town until 4 years ago. He was 43, was married and have 3 children aged between 20 and 4. His eldest daughter and his wife were with him when he was killed just outside of his home. Today was the last day of the election campaign. Next sunday, the 9th March, is election day and we will go to vote for the next presidente. The terrorist have won again and now the whole nation is talking about them. I´m so sad tonight. God bless you Cris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Dear Cristy, And, to even think what this man\'s wife and his young daughter, each both witnessed this assasination...I cannot even imagine what that family is going through right now...it is so very horrible. Terrorists who kill like this are cowards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Chistina, I am so sorry to hear of the problems in you country. I agree with Denise, I kind of get wrapped up in what is happening in the US or what the US is involved in that I don\'t think about other places. Plus, I guess I think of Spain as a place where nothing bad happens, kind of a vacation spot. But I guess bad things happen everywhere to all people. Praying for the people of Spain. Praying that justice will prevail, and the peace will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
