The Madrid pro-government newspaper "Razon", which published the report on the impending terrorist attacks, cites French intelligence services. They have obtained an instruction written for militants by one of the ETA leaders. The instruction deals with preparations for the so-called "summer campaign" to intimidate foreigners so that they refuse to travel to Spain. The militants are tasked with organizing attacks not only in the country's most famous resorts, but also in any place visited by foreign tourists. ETA states that this will deal a significant blow to Spain's economy, since foreign tourism brings the country the largest revenues.
Earlier this year, the Basque terrorists had already distributed a similar document. In it, ETA warned foreigners that the organization does not take responsibility for the lives of persons who are in the "zone of military operations". This is exactly what the terrorists call the entire territory of Spain. According to Travel.ru, the warning was sent to embassies of foreign states in Madrid, airline and travel companies.
