Two leaders of ETA have been sentenced to 743-year prison terms each for the 1987 bombing of a Spanish military bus that killed two people and injured 44.
The sentences, accumulated for a series of offences, are chiefly symbolic as prison terms are limited to 30 years in Spain. They come on top of sentences of thousands of years they have already received after ETA-related convictions
The court sentence said Francisco "Pakito" Mugica "was in charge of directing the ETA commandos from France" and proposed that a group of four militants attack the bus carrying officers of the military academy in the city of Zaragoza.
For his part, Jose Maria "Fiti" Arregui assisted the four-man team, decided they should use a truck bomb, and provided it for them, the sentence said.
The explosion killed the driver plus one officer and injured 28 others on the bus plus 16 people nearby.
Pakito and Fiti were arrested in France in 1992 and extradited to Spain in 2000. Several others in the bus attack also have been captured and sentenced.
