Eta: Basque separatists begin weapons handover

Basque militant group Eta has begun handing over its remaining weapons, ending the last insurgency in Europe.

At a ceremony in the southern French city of Bayonne, an inventory of weapons, and their locations, was passed to the judicial authorities.

French Interior Minister Matthias Fekl hailed the move as a "major step".

Eta killed more than 800 people in some 40 years of violence as it sought to carve out an independent country straddling Spain and France.

It declared a ceasefire in 2011 but did not disarm.

Well, the domestic terrorist supply has dried up but there are plenty of imports on the scene. Poor Spain! Off to such a spectacular modernization when Franco died and went to Hell, but the Spanish people just weren't able to keep the new democracy together. Corruption and ancient divisions paralyzed progress and the busting of the real estate bubble crashed the dream. I have to fear that once again Spain is ahead of Europe and similar dysfunction may overtake Italy, even France. Greece and Middle Europe are already fading back from happier days. These things happen. The collapse of the Roman Empire, the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, now the collapse of the European Union? I don't see the USA as immune from this political version of the Spanish flu either.
