Basque separatists claim credit for assassination
Four hooded Basque militants said at a Bordeaux news conference they killed Spanish Prime Minister Luis Carrero Blanco eight days earlier. They described planting 99 pounds of charges under his Madrid street, with an additional 55 pounds in a sedan. They fled via Portugal to France and planned return to Spain. The claim was made to 20 reporters in a secret, windowless room south of Bordeaux. Jurisdictional details followed with no immediate comment from other Basque circles. In New Hampshire, the state Supreme Court ruled Hinsdale may limit mobile homes to 350, upholding the town ordinance despite challenges from two trailer parks seeking expansion.
