The number of people killed by ETA is sometimes highly disputed. The Spanish Interior Ministry, the Basque government, and most major news agencies state that 829 people have been killed in ETA attacks. Some victims' organizations such as the Asociación de Víctimas del Terrorismo and the Colectivo de Víctimas del Terrorismo en el País Vasco place the death toll of ETA's victims at 952, including in the list DRIL's victim Begoña Urroz (regarded by some sources as ETA's first victim) and several unresolved attacks such as the Hotel Corona de Aragón fire.
From 1968 until 2002, there had been more than 3,300 ETA attacks, which have also left more than 2,000 people injured.
