TheComandos Autónomos Anticapitalistas (CAA orCCAA) (Basque:Komando Autonomo Antikapitalistak; "Autonomous Anticapitalist Commandos") were aBasque armed group in Spain withAutonomist Marxist politics, defined as ananarchistic breakaway ofETA.^[1]

The group was very active in the 1970s and 1980s. The most important attack was the assassination ofSpanish Socialist Workers Party Senator Enrique Casas in 1984,^[2] which was rejected by all the political spectrum including ETA, which at the time, rejected violence against politicians.^{[citation needed]} The commandos who killed Casas were calledMendeku (revenge inBasque language). Soon after, one of the few operating CAA commandos was ambushed by theGuardia Civil at the bay ofPasaia, killing four – all but one.^[3]

The police tried to link another group they calledMendeku to the CAA, after an attack against the headquarters of theSpanish Socialist Workers' Party inPortugalete in 1987 where two people died.^[4]

The ambush at Pasaia is dealt with in a documentary film called "Pasaiako Badia". In this film, witnesses, relatives and others recount the arrest of Rosa Jimeno by the Spanish police, her torture and the trap set for the CAA, which included Rosa being tied up and a rendezvous with the members of CAA arranged. She was forced to set a date with CAA members near the harbor at Pasaia in March 1984. Once the CAA members arrived in the harbor the armed police, shot Pelu and Pelitxo, killing both, and arrested two, 'Txapas' and 'Kurro', who were tortured and killed. Joseba Merino and Rosa survived. The G.A.L. a paramilitary group including former Francoist officers which used public funds and participated in the Spanish state's war on terrorism was allegedly involved in the ambush.
