Ambush in Pasaia (basque history)

1984, 4 basque militants of "Comandos Autonomos Anticapitalistas" (Autonomous Anticapitalist Commandos in english) were killed by spanish police. 

"Comandos Autonomos Anticapitalistas" were a Basque armed group in South Basque Country. Some of their militants were ex-members of ETA. They support marxist and autonomist ideology. They were organized in different Commandos and each one of them was "independent" from the others.

Their objectives were all the state structure and financial entities: Banks, police, politicians, public institutions etc. This strategy was criticized by ETA(M) and ETA(PM) (they objectives were more selected like spanish military or police). Although, most of the people that "commandos" killed were "guardia civil" (spanish military police), capitalists and PSOE politicians (they were implicated in state terrorism with GAL).

On 1984, Rosa Jimeno (militant of Commandos) was arrested by spanish police. After being strongly tortured, they forced her to date with her partner Dionisio. On 1984, fourth youth (members of a Commando) using a boat approached to Pasajes Bay. Police prepared the ambush taking a lot of arms and bulletproof vests. When the militants landed and saw Rosa, they approached to her. Suddenly spanish police blinded them using lights and after that killed two militants shooting them.

After that, spanish police arrested the other 3 militants of Commandos. Then, three secret police appeared and after saying "you are going to die" killed another two militants.113 bullets were found inside of their bodies. No policeman was tried. Families knew that they were dead through mass media.
