1980 Ispaster attack
The 1980 Ispaster attack was a gun and grenade attack by the Basque separatist organisation ETA which occurred on 1 February 1980 near the Basque town of Ispaster. The targets were a convoy of civil guards who were escorting workers and weapons from the nearby Esperanza y Cia Arms factory to Bilbao. A total of six civil guards were killed, while two ETA members were killed by hand grenades that they had thrown. The attack was the deadliest of 1980,〔(ETA:Historia de 40 años de terrorismo, ABC, 2006 )〕 the year when ETA killed more people than any other.〔(Timeline: Eta campaign, BBC News, 8 September 2010 ) accessed 17 February 2010〕
==The attack==
The attack occurred on a Friday morning. ETA had observed similar convoys from the factory and planned their ambush based on information that they had gathered. The convoy consisted of four vehicles, the first carrying technicians, the third mortar devices produced by the factory and the second and fourth vehicles carrying three civil guards each.〔(Seis guardias civiles mueren ametrallados en Vizcaya, La Vanguardia, 2 February 1980, p5-6 )〕 The vehicle left the factory at 0730 and at approximately 0815,〔 had to slow down at a part of the road which consisted of numerous bends.〔 The ETA members had chosen a spot near a small hill, where they were hidden from view by dense vegetation.〔 After allowing the vehicle carrying the factory workers to pass, ETA launched a grenade at the second vehicle, causing it to be stuck in a layby and then attacked the civil guard's vehicles with assault rifles, machine guns and grenades, firing over 100 shots. In order to ensure that no civil guards survived, the ETA members approached the vehicles and threw a hand grenade into the first civil guard's vehicle. When they repeated this with the second vehicle, two ETA members, Gregorio Olabarría Gorrotxategui Bengoa and Javier Argote, were killed as a result of injuries suffered when they failed to escape in time before the grenades exploded.〔(ETA, una historia de muerte y destrucción, Diario Vasco, 23 March 2006 ) accessed 16 February 2011〕 One of these was subsequently found 6 kilometres away from the attack, having apparently been moved there by his comrades.〔 At 0845, a man had approached a bar near the scene and had asked in Basque for medical assistance.〔
The drivers of the third vehicle, which had been trapped between the civil guard's vehicles, were allowed to go free and ordered to go down the hill by the ETA members, where they eventually reached a main road.〔 The weapons in the third vehicle were seized by the ETA team.〔
Having been alerted by a local resident who had heard the gunfire and explosions, the police arrived on the scene at 0900 and found a large quantity of grenades, 9 milimetre ammunition and guns of Belgian origin.〔
