When terrorists fight themselves ... we all win

Some weeks ago I was going to write a post about the cease of fire proposal ETA was going to send to the Spanish government, I even began a draft about it, but I received a phone call from a former friend telling me that it was not going to be a real proposal as there was an internal fight where some wanted to begin a peace process, and who had already met government emissaries to set the bases of the surrender, and others who wanted to continue the fight, and who had already ordered inminent bombings that would include at least one assasination.
He also told me that some members were even considering to denounce the plans that include bloody crimes.

I knew this gossip came from a good source, so I decided not to post anything until I could confirm the information and it seems the time has come. Three minor bombings (1, 2, 3) and one frustrated sniper murder quite confirm it.

Though it might seem strange, there's a light of hope in this situation as it shows how weak they are right now.
