VITORIA, Spain (AP) — A car
bomb Tuesday killed a politician who
opposes Basque separatism and his
bodyguard near the seat of the Basque
regional government in the town of Vi
toria in northern Spain.
The explosion occurred shortly after
4:30 p.m. on a university
campus about 200 yards <k ' 1 .
from the headquarters of v \
the president of the Basque
government, a police
spokesman said. Firefight
ers rushed to the scene.
There was no claim of
responsibility but Interior
Minister Jaime Mayor
Oreja blamed the anned
Basque separatist group
ETA for the attack.
People in Spain and the
Basque region “must un
derstand the macabre les-
son ETA is trying to teach |
us,"' Mayor Oreja told re- &
porters. He broke off a vis-
it to the eastern town of
Benidorm to fly to Vitoria.
The blast shook the regional govern
ment headquarters as officials inside
held a press conference. Vitoria is capi
tal ofAlava province and of the Basque
region.
The explosion killed Fernando Bue-
sa, leader of the Alava provincial chap-
I
ter of the Basque Socialist Party, and a
policeman serving as his bodyguard, po
lice said. Earlier reports had said one of
the fatalities was a woman.
Spanish television showed footage of
a bloodied body lying on a grassy area of'
the campus.
mmeemffim ^TA announced in De-
cember it was ending a 14-
KiPr V month-old cease-fire and
an Sebastian / I , . , ,
warned it would resume at
tacks.
It has killed an estimat
ed 800 people in a 32-year-
old struggle for indepen
dence for the region, which
straddles the border of
France and Spain.
Buesa’s party opposes
Basque separatism, favoring
the current system of broad
Basque autonomy granted
by the Spanish constitution.
The regional govern
ment is controlled by the
moderate Basque National
ist Party, which says it sup-
Puerto Ricans prote
bombing of Vieques
i
Barcelonan
ports Basque independence but oppos
es ETA’s violent methods.
Buesa was walking near his home with
his bodyguard when the bomb detonated.
He was among some 10,000 people
who took part in an anti-ETA demon
stration Saturday in the nearby Basque
city of San Sebastian.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — In
one of the biggest demonstrations here
in years, 85,000 Puerto Ricans heeded
the calls of religious leaders and
marched in silence to protest the
planned resumption of U.S. Navy
bombing on the island of Vieques.
“We Want Peace!” banners they
carried demanded.
They also waved portraits of Jesus
and the U.S. territory’s single-star red,
white and blue flag as they filled a mile-
long stretch of San Juan’s Las Americ
as Expressway. Hundreds of police cor
doned off the highway and watched
without interfering.
The “Peace for Vieques” march
was called by religious leaders to repu
diate an agreement between Gov. Pedro
Rossello and President Clinton to re
sume limited training with dummy
bombs on Vieques, the Navy’s prize At
lantic licet bombing range. Police Chief
Pedro Toledo estimated the crowd at
85,000.
“We are showing the consensus in
Puerto Rico's heart in favor of peace
and justice,” said San Juan Archbishop
Roberto Gonzalez Nieves.
Church leaders’ increasing®
ment in anti-Navy protests has®
many pro-statehood politicians.
They fear the protests conic
efforts to make Puerto Rico-it
cut of $11 billion in federal ft®
nually — the 51st U.S. state.
“It is anti-American, anti-Nai
docs not contribute to the seriousi
that Gov. Rossello has donetoci
the Navy’s exit,” said Houses
Edison Misla Aldarondo.
Many bristled at the criticism
“Even though we’re veterait
have done our service, I want told
president of the United States k
w ant peace for Vieques,” said Mas
Santiago Alvarado, 72, a U.S.-
veteran of Korea and Vietnam.
Clinton and Rossello agreec
month to allow the Navy'to resume
ited training using inert bombs.
The pact calls for a re fere:
likel v to he held in 2001, that will
Vieques residents two choices:
Resume exercises, includii*
use of live bombs.

and a w ithdraw al by the Navy M
