Basque separatist freed from prison after 21 years
A notorious and unrepentant Basque separatist convicted of killing 25 people _ including a dozen policemen in a Madrid car bombing _ walked out of a Spanish prison a free man Saturday after 21 years behind bars.
Jose Ignacio de Juana Chaos, 52, was released from a prison in Aranjuez, outside Madrid, exactly 40 years to the day that the armed group ETA claimed its first killing _ a police officer in San Sebastian _ in the name of Basque separatism.
The group is accused of killing more than 825 people during its violent campaign for an independent Basque state in northern Spain and southwest France. The last was the May killing of a policeman in the Basque village of Legutiano.
