MADRID, Spain (AP) [4.17.2000] - Computer hackers supporting the armed
Basque separatist group ETA sabotaged the Web page of the Guggenheim
Museum in the Basque city of Bilbao over the weekend, a museum
official said Monday.

The culprits tampered with the site Sunday so that it showed slogans
praising ETA and its goal of independence for the Basque country, an
area straddling the border between northern Spain and southwest
France, said spokeswoman Neria Abasolo.

The site was disrupted for a few hours, she added. Photographs of
imprisoned ETA members accompanied statements written in English
calling France and Spain oppressors.

ETA is blamed for the deaths of nearly 800 people in its more than
30-year struggle for independence.

The group called a cease-fire in Sept. 1998, raising hopes for an end
to the conflict, but ended the truce in January of this year,
expressing frustration with the pace of the peace process.

The group has claimed responsibility for two car bombings this year
which killed three people, and been blamed for another that injured
seven.
