Basque peace process 'over' after Madrid bombing

Spain’s ruling Socialist party today said a peace process launched with a March ceasefire announcement by armed Basque separatists was now dead, not just suspended, following a weekend car bombing.

“The process is over, because this is what Eta has chosen,” said senior party official Jose Blanco, naming the militant group blamed for the powerful explosion Saturday at Madrid airport that left 26 people injured and two missing and feared dead.
