Talk:María Soledad Iparraguirre

Incongruency possibly WP:SYNTH issue, to be ironed out
"she recrossed the border in 1985 as a member of the Araba commando unit.[2] In her first action she is said to have attacked police and a television crew with a machine gun near a sports centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz.[4] Active alongside José Javier Arizcuren, Juan Carlos Arruti, and Eusebio Arzalluz, in the three years to 1987"


 * 1985 to 1987 is two years.
 * The three years and crossing the border in 1985 are is taken from El mundo, from two different and conflicting sections.

This is the three years, from 1984-7
 * "Entre 1984 y 1987, 'Anboto' formó parte del comando Araba y la policía mantiene que pudo participar en los asesinatos del cartero Estanislao Galíndez, del guardia civil Fernando Amor y de los policías Félix Gallego, Manuel Fuentes, Antonio Ligero y Rafael Mircientes, todos ellos en el País Vasco."
 * "Tras unos años de aprendizaje en Francia cruzó la frontera en 1985 como miembro liberado del comando Araba y participó en varios atentados con Juan Carlos Arruti, Eusebio Arzalluz y José Javier Arizcuren"

The three years recurs in the Telegraph report:
 * "In three years with the cell she took part in gun attacks in which six people were killed. Her first action saw her spraying a police patrol and a Spanish television crew with machine-gun fire at a sports palace near Vitoria."
 * Someone should check further than my time allows, and fix this.Nishidani (talk) 12:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)


 * WP:SYNTH would be combining different sources to reach a conclusion not stated in the sources but as you acknowledge, the three years to 1987 and the 1985 crossing the frontier are in the sources and they're not necessarily contradictory. Many ETA activists operated from France, carrying out killings in Spain then fleeing back across the border to safe havens in the French Basque country afterwards. This is why the anti-ETA Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación operated mainly in France, killing ETA activists there who were beyond the reach of the ordinary Spanish authorities. Based on the sources it's more than possible that she was based in France until 1985 and operated as part of the Araba commando unit from 1984-1985 from France and 1985-1987 from Spain. That would be my understanding of the sources. Valenciano (talk) 20:05, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
