He is believed to have ordered the December 2006 bombing of a car park at Madrid's Barajas airport, which killed two people and put a definite end to the ceasefire the group had declared earlier that year. Other ETA members...
...with one more violent leader behind bars, those pro-independence supporters who might consider politics rather than terror the better tactical option have a little more room to maneuver. "In the sense that these were the hardest of hardliners, " says Sánchez-Cuenca, "the absence of Txeroki and Thierry could work to the favor of those who want to work within the political system...
