The scene of the shooting
A socialist politician has died after being shot by two gunmen in Spain's Basque region. Jean Maria Jauregui, a former provincial governor, died after being shot in a cafe in the town of Tolosa. Police said that the attack bore the hallmarks of the separatist group ETA. A short time later a car bomb exploded in the nearby town of Billabona, but caused no injuries. And in another development, police said two suspected members of the group who were arrested in the northern Spanish city of Zaragoza had been planning to assassinate its mayor. The group has been blamed for six killings since it ended a ceasefire in December.
