killed by ETA in Bilbao.
Just hours after the murder of Carmen in Madrid, a parcel bomb kills Luis Bilbao. His story is told well Sergio Campos on "The assassin and technical fudge": "[...]
María Muñoz Street. On the left, past the street Solokoetxe and a few feet away, is the street Fica. Today is one of the strongholds of the bottle in Bilbao, which claims to be eradicated by the City. The whole area is taken so that Patxo Unzueta called "the cheerful and militant sector of our rebellious youth of today: as gay as a funeral, as rebellious as a herd." On September 12, 1981, Luis Reina Mesonero, fishmonger 61 years old, came to the door of his home about twenty minutes before nine o'clock at night. The street number 32 of Fica. He climbed the nine steps that separated him from his mailbox and picked up a package that was sent to his name. Luis Reina few months before had suffered a stroke that had affected his hearing and sight. For this reason, the package came in the face. The package exploded and shattered his skull and part of the chest. Were about 150 or 200 grams of explosive. The explosion caused some damage in the portal. The noise caused some neighbors closer. Among them was his son, 25. Later, still with the body of Luis Reina present, two sisters of the murdered, and over, they sat in a shop nearby without being able to say a word.

few hours after they met the murder, Jon Idígoras, HB leader, confirmed that Luis Reina Mesonero was a supporter of the nationalist coalition and the party would be involved in preparing the funeral. Implied that he had been assassinated by a right-wing group, as had happened in another case. The family was quick to deny what was said by Idígoras. HB members met with the family, and soon after announced that Luis Reina Mesonero had nothing to do with them. There was no one place to victimhood.
On September 23, 1989, eta confesses Luis Reina killing by "an irreparable mistake and error." In the same press release says to "the most serious and sincere self-criticism." Eta attributed his confusion to the fact that Luis Reina had the same name as a cop. Higher Headquarters in Bilbao denied that he had no police with that name. José María Calleja
in The Basque diaspora, explains what happened to the other side of this event. Luis Reina owned a car dealership in Bilbao. Police and civil administration officials in Vizcaya shopped there, and learned eta. Luis Reina threatened, which made it possible for eta not murdered. He spoke first with Txomin Ziluaga, "great leader of Herri Batasuna, which promised to" try your case so that nothing will happen, knowing that this man did not deserve an attack. " Queen also attended Txema Luis Montero, HB lawyer who assured him that nothing would happen. Luis Reina also met Jone Goirizelaia, a lawyer for HB, he blurted out that if "the organization" had threatened him, it was because something would have.
Some time later, Luis Reina was assassinated. Luis Reina Mesonero. The fearless fighters, those that appear in the newspapers of the seventies and eighties as actors in a thriller, bold, intelligent, cool and efficient as steel machines, consulted the Yellow Pages to locate the person who had to kill. And missed.
Luis Queen, owner of the dealer, fled the Basque Country. A Luis Reina Mesonero, fishmonger, he blew the head and chest. I think we still live one of the older sisters, one of those old ladies who sat unable to utter a word the day of the murder. The child lives in the same street Fica. "In the same building where his father was murdered? There is a fish stall in the Mercado de la Ribera on behalf of women Luis Reina Mesonero paralyzed. " ______
