Shooting in Spain ahead of election

March 07, 2008

Isaias Carrasco, 42, was shot in the back of the neck in a style typical of Basque separatist rebels ETA, newspaper El Pais said on its Web site. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but ETA has killed more than 800 people in four decades of struggle for the independence of the Basque Country in northern Spain.
