Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, or ETA
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETA>

QUOTE:

Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, or ETA (IPA: <ˈɛ¢°ta>), is an armed Basque separatist organisation that seeks, through means including violence, to create an independent socialist state for the Basque people, separate from Spain and France, the states that currently control the Basque country. ETA is considered by Spain, France, the European Union and the United States to be a terrorist organization. The name Euskadi Ta Askatasuna is in the Basque language, and translates as "Basque Country and Liberty". ETA's motto is Bietan jarrai ("Keep up on both"). This refers to the two figures in the ETA symbol, the snake (symbolising secrecy and astuteness) wrapped around an axe (representing strength).

The organization was founded in 1959 and evolved rapidly from a group advocating traditional cultural ways to an armed resistance movement.
