Spanish PM Seeks Peace Talks With ETA

MADRID, Spain (AP) - Spain's prime minister said Sunday he will seek to open peace talks
with the armed Basque separatist group ETA, which declared a permanent cease-fire in March.

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said he will go before Parliament next month to announce
"the start of the process of dialogue to achieve the end of violence with ETA."

Party during his first visit to the region since ETA announced what it called a permanent
cease-fire on March 22.
