THE SPANISH INTERIOR MINISTER today announced the government will take legal action against “all those” who accused it of having murdered an ETA terrorist.
Events began last August when a body appeared at a morgue in the Basque Country. ETA sympathisers claimed it was the body of Jon Azna, an ETA terrorist missing for more than a year who they claimed was murdered by the Spanish government.
However, the discovery last week that a bureaucratic error meant that Sr Azna’s body had in fact been in a morgue in Toulouse the entire time has prompted the government to take action. Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said: “We will be starting legal action against all those who have libeled this country’s security forces by following ETA’s lies and repeating the myth that Azna was tortured and buried somewhere.”
An autopsy carried out on Azna by French doctors determined that there were no signs of violence and that the terrorist died of a “multi-organ failure related with his poor state of health”. Due to a bureaucratic error, the body was placed in the morgue with an “X” printed on the name tag which prevented him from being identified.
