The Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA) was formed in 1959 and is headquartered in the Basque provinces of Spain and France. It has been responsible for attacks on Spanish and French interests domestically and abroad. ETA aims to create an independent Basque state that would contain the six Basque provinces of Spain and France, as well as the Navarra province of Spain. ETA activities include bombings, assassinations and kidnappings. In July 2009, ETA claimed responsibility for the bombing of a police barracks in Spain which wounded at least 40 people, including 6 children. In May 2018, ETA officially dissolved. However, European authorities have continued to pursue criminal charges against former members of ETA. ETA is said to have killed over 800 people and carried out some 1,600 terrorist attacks since its formation.
