Iraultza

Iraultza (Basque for Revolution) was a small Basque militant armed group of leftist tendency, active between 1982^[1][2] and 1996^[2] as a response to the suppression of the Basque resistance movement.^[3] It was thought to be a group of less than 50 people based in Bilbao, largely focused on the destruction of property, particularly those of American multinational corporations^[1][3][4] and against other smaller Spanish companies involved in labor disputes,^[5] in support of Workers' self-management and mobilization, although one of its attacks was responsible for the death of one individual and several for minor injuries of others.^[3] According to newspaper El País it was thought to be responsible for over 210 attacks during its existence.^[2]

The group was described by the United States government as "probably [having] committed more bombings against American business interests than any other European terrorist group".^[6]
