MADRID: Spain's National Court has convicted three members of the Basque 
separatist group ETA of murder, attempted murder and participation in a terror 
attack and sentenced them to 1,040 years in jail each.

They were found responsible for a Dec. 30, 2006, explosion at Madrid's Barajas 
airport that destroyed a five-story parking garage, killing two Ecuadorean 
immigrants and wounding 41 other people. ETA later claimed responsibility for 
the attack, which marked the end of a cease-fire that the group had begun nine 
months earlier.

The verdict and sentence for Mattin Sarasola, Igor Portu and Mikel San 
Sebastian were released Friday.

ETA has killed more than 825 people since the late 1960s in its campaign for an 
independent Basque homeland.
