"This killing changes everything", El Correocomments, two days after a French police officer was gunned down near Paris by members of ETA, the Basque terrorist group. The Basque-region daily points out that the operation, the first of its kind in France, "poses a real problem for ETA" because the fight against the separatist movement has now become "a priority for the French state." El Correo notes that when two gendarmes were killed by a French-based Basque nationalist group in 1988, French authorities "completely dismantled the group (known as Iparetarrrak) in the space of a few months". The paper expects the French to show "more determination" in the fight against ETA and demands "effective action" from the government.
