Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Thursday visited the site of the Dec. 30 bomb attack, at Madrid's Barajas airport, saying that his "energy and determination to end violence is even stronger."

On Dec. 30, Basque separatist organization ETA broke a nine-month ceasefire with a car bomb attack in the Barajas car park.

"Nothing and nobody will stifle the right of all Spain's citizens to live without bombs or violence," Rodriguez Zapatero said.

Rodriguez Zapatero's visit came just hours after rescue workers found the body of Ecuadorian Carlos Alonso Palate. After meeting the 35-year-old construction worker's family, Rodriguez Zapatero said "justice will be done," and described the attack as "pointless."

Madrid and Basque Country authorities announced a day of mourning after rescuers found Palate's body.

On Wednesday night, Rodriguez Zapatero visited relatives of Palate and Diego Armando Estacio, another Ecuadorian who has not been missing in the explosion.

The weekend's killings represent the first murders by ETA since 2003, when a bomb planted by the organization killed two police officers in Navarre.

The ETA, which wants to achieve independence for the Basque Country, a region that straddles northeastern Spain and southwestern France, has killed 850 people in its separatist fight since 1968.
