"We wish to express our respect to all the victims of ETA's actions, in that they were harmed as a effect of the conflict, whether they were killed, injured or harmed in any other way. We sincerely regret it".
"We want to show our respect to the dead, the injured and the victims that ETA's actions have caused", the statement said.

ETA waged a almost four-decade campaign of bombings and shootings to establish an independent Basque state in northern Spain and southern France.
"ETA should have asked for forgiveness a long time ago", it said in a statement.
