Basque terrorist group ETA threw a "message bomb" into the Spanish general-election campaign. That was how Pasqual Maragall, Socialist President of the regional government of Catalonia, described the video statement by two masked ETA members that the separatists were suspending their campaign of bombing and killing - but only in Catalonia.

And, though we cannot be sure that the CCL gave up on H Bomb because of national media attention, it is likely that such pressures played an important role in the committee’s decision to backpedal. The CCL should reconsider its decision without fear of embarrassing Harvard in the national press and judge the publication on the benefits it will have for undergraduate life at Harvard. We believe that if it does, the CCL will support H Bomb once again...
