The group itself The majority of the deaths caused by Iraultza were to their own members while placing bombs; seven members died that way. Juan Carlos Gallardo was killed on Roncesvalles Avenue in
Pamplona, Navarre. He had placed a bomb next to the car of an industrialist with the surname Figanda, whose sausage company was involved in a strong labor conflict at the time, and was firing workers. The device exploded next to the car, killing Gallardo. After Gallardo's death, a
moment of silence and march through was held by over 3,000 people, who also were in attendance to protest the death of
Mikel Zabalza. The protest went through the streets of Pamplona, walking past the site of Gallardo's death, and some among the crowd chanted support for Iraultza and ETA, although relatives of Zabalza and other residents of
Orbaizeta remained quiet. On 1 May 1991, police confirmed that they had found several people who had been killed in an explosion in the remains of a
SEAT 131 car, and identified via their identity documents María Rosa Diez Sáez (30) from
Barakaldo and Jesús Fernández Miguel (40), the owner of the car, and found bank savings account documents from another person, reported as Soledad Múgica Areitioaurtena (40) from
Ermua, in the wreckage. El Pais reported that Sáez and Areitioaurtena had been involved in radical assemblies, but that Miguel was unknown to authorities. The following day, Iraultza contacted the newspaper
Egin to confirm that the three fatalities were its members. Police sources stated that the three deceased had just placed devices which had detonated in Bilbao and Barakaldo before they were killed manipulating an explosive device.
José Miguel Moros Peña According to the newspaper El Pais, on Friday 27 June 1986 José Miguel Moros Peña (18), a resident of
Portagalete and construction worker for Urgandía, a subcontractor for firms
Dragados and
OCP Construcciones (as of January 2019 a part of
ACS Group) was starting a piece of drill machinery (later reported as a crane) at around 7:50 am when a bomb attached to it exploded, fatally injuring him. The bomb's timer had apparently failed to detonate the bomb, but the movement of the drill machinery was thought to have initiated the detonation. An anonymous call was made prior to the detonation to the
Santurzi Municipal Police at 11:45 pm on Monday 23 June 1986, and a bomb squad was sent out to check but reportedly found nothing. The police chief of Bilbao later stated that the police considered the call to be one of many false alarms, and did not consider checking the area again in daylight. == Incidents ==
