United Press International: Basque ETA announces end of attacks

Yes, well, we've heard this before, for all intents and purposes. ETA is saying that it will no longer launch attacks on politicians in Spain:
In a statement reported by Basque newspaper Gara, the group said the "front" against politicians was closed due to the changing political climate.

The Spanish government has offered to negotiate with the group if it agrees to disarm, but the group said it would talk, but will not give up its weapons. The statement issued Saturday said ETA was waiting for Spanish and French authorities to "respond positively to the will" it had displayed.
I hope for the best, but if I were a Spanish politician I wouldn't stop looking over my shoulder.
