And both groups plan to end their long connection to ICCAT. "The game is over," said Sebastian Losada, a Spanish campaigner for Greenpeace, in a statement from Marrakech on Monday night. He said the meeting had showed "government and industry ruthlessly bargaining for the last tuna...

We also know who these attackers were, for the most part: an unlikely alliance of white settlers, Spanish-speaking landholders known as vecinos and members of an opposing tribe, the Tohono O'odham.
