ID | The Basque separatist group ETA said Sunday the French police started the shootout last month that led to the death of one of the French officers by firing at an ETA militant who was lying on the ground and unarmed.
Jean-Serge Nerin is thought to be the first policeman killed by ETA in France, where the separatists stash weapons and hide members who cross the border into Spain to carry out bombings and shootings.
“They were the first to fire (on an ETA member) who was on the ground and unarmed,” the group said in a statement published in Basque newspaper Gara.
ETA has tried to avoid direct confrontation with France in its 50-year armed struggle to carve out an independent Basque state from parts of Spain and France. More than 850 people have been killed. Mr. Nerin’s death led French President Nicolas Sarkozy to reiterate his pledge to root out ETA bases in the country.

NOTE: (from wikipedia): The Basque Country is a European cultural region in the western Pyrenees that spans the border between France and Spain, on the Atlantic coast. It comprises the Spanish Autonomous Communities of the Basque Country and Navarre, and then the Northern Basque Country in France. Over the centuries, elements from both Spanish and French culture (including the respective languages) have been a major influence in the respective parts of the region’s culture.
ETA (stands for Basque Homeland and Freedom), is an armed Basque nationalist and separatist organization. The group was founded in 1959 and they evolved from a group promoting traditional Basque culture to a paramilitary group with the goal of gaining independence for the Greater Basque Country from a Marxist-Leninist perspective.

My first tourist-y activity in the Windy City was visiting the beautiful Chicago History Museum.The future of the Queensland government supported Wellcamp facility has been questioned as only seven of the quarantine accommodation's 1000 beds are in use.
The government has not revealed the cost of the building, citing commercial reasons.
But the leader of the opposition claims the building, supported by the state government and currently leased out for the purpose of the COVID-19 pandemic has cost Queensland $200 million.
"Wellcamp is W for waste," state opposition leader David Crisafulli said.
"The figure of $200 million has never been disputed.
"We know that over $200 million has been spent to lease a facility that Queenslanders will never own that currently houses half a dozen people at a time the government is paying for hotel rooms and this place is now complete."
Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk defended the facility, which was implemented during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and designed to isolate interstate and international arrivals to the state.
"At the time the people of Queensland wanted the state government to step in and do something and that's exactly what we did," the premier said.
"There are a lot of opportunities for it to be used by a whole range of people."
The opposition has questioned whether the Queensland government's lease of the Wellcamp facility will be renewed next year.
There have been suggestions the facility can be used as a potential centre for domestic violence survivors or those displaced by natural disasters.
"We'll look at all those issues when it comes to that," Palaszczuk said.
The LNP has turned it's attention to the government's upcoming budget.
"Its been a complete waste of taxpayers money," Jarrod Bleije said.
"I'm very concerned the only way this government will pay for budget blowouts and all the wastage would be taxes- increased taxes."
Generation Z has quickly become the generation with the highest rates of drug usage and access to drugs in history. From early experimentation to full-blown substance abuse, there is no denying the devastating impact of drugs on this generation.
The illegal use of drugs has long been a problem in the United States, but it seems to be more prevalent among Gen Zers than previous generations. Teens and young adults in this age group are more likely to engage in risky behaviors like using drugs, which can have profound and long-lasting consequences.
There are numerous physical and mental health issues associated with drug abuse in this age group. Substance misuse can lead to significant declines in physical health,as drugs can damage organ systems and lead to an increased risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, are also common in those who abuse drugs, as they are more likely to experience feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and despair.
The impact of drugs on Gen Zers is also seen in their school performance and overall academic achievement. Studies have shown that substance misuse in adolescents can lead to a decline in overall academic performance, which can have an impact on college acceptance rates. Additionally, drug use can put kids and young adults at risk for accidentally injuring themselves or others, both physically and/or psychologically.
The economic effects of drug use also can’t be overlooked. The costs associated with substance misuse are immense.I've been a huge fan of KM's since I was in my twenties and so I was thrilled to be able to go to an exhibition featuring many of his Suprematist works (including the Black Square).
