BILBAO (Reuters) - A peace movement set up 28 years ago to counter the violence of the Basque militant group ETA formally dissolved on Saturday, saying that it had achieved its objective now that ETA has laid down its arms.

Three hundred people congregated for a minute's silence in Bilbao's Circular Square, the scene of A Gesture for Peace's first protest, when 200 people gathered in silence to protest the murder of four people by ETA in 1985.
