Spain: Man is shot, killed in ETA attack

Spanish officials say a man has been shot and killed in an attack by the Basque separatist group ETA.

A Basque regional police official says the man was shot several times Wednesday in the Basque town of Azpeitia, near San Sebastian. An official with the emergency rescue services in San Sebastian said separately the man died of his injuries.

Both officials spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity, in line with their departments' rules.

The shooting came two weeks after the arrest in France of ETA's leader, Mikel de Garikoitz Aspiazu. The Spanish Interior Ministry had said it expected ETA to retaliate for that arrest.

The shooting victim was not immediately identified.
